<p>Crime is an important area of research and study because it raises the fundamental questions about civil liberties and the power of the state. Besides this criminological studies reveal several facts which help us understand human behaviour in general. Criminology as a subject is gradually becoming popular in many universities although limited empirical studies for this discipline are available.</p><p>Police criminology is a new branch of study in criminological literature. Why do the law enforcement officials commit crimes? The value of policing focused on risk factors is the most powerful conclusion reached from three decades of research. Simply hiring more police does not prevent serious crime. Community policing without a clear focus on crime risk factors generally shows no effect on crime. But directed patrols proactive arrests and problem solving at high-crime “hot spots” have shown substantial evidence of crime prevention. Police can prevent robbery disorder gun violence drunk driving and domestic violence but only by using certain methods under certain conditions.</p><p>This book talks about police crimes down the millennia and analyses the etiological aspects of police crimes such as oppression extortion corruption coercion concoction of evidence connivance with underworld criminals nexus crimes manipulation of records abuse of power misuse of authority perversions in thoughts etc.</p>

<p>Crime and criminology is an older larger field of sociology dealing with matters related to crime and criminal behaviour. It includes fields such as crime statistics criminal psychology forensic science law enforcement and detective methods. It adheres to the natural science model and borrows heavily from philosophy psychology and sociology. According to social learning theory juveniles learn to engage in crime in the same way they learn to engage in conforming behaviour through association with or exposure to others. Primary or intimate groups like the family and peer group have an especially large impact on what we learn.</p><p>In fact association with delinquent friends is the best predictor of delinquency other than prior delinquency. However one does not have to be in direct contact with others to learn from them; for example one may learn to engage in violence from observation of others in the media. Some theories in criminology believe that criminality is a function of individual socialisation i.e. how individuals have been influenced by their experiences or relationships with family relationships peer groups teachers church authority figures and other agents of socialisation.</p><p>The book will be of immense value to students and researchers in the subject as well as to social scientists law enforcement personnel psychologists and members of the justice system.</p>
