Among several essential prerequisites for public acceptance of the police, legitimacy of all their actions depends upon the extent to which the public judges the police to have been behaving properly in accordance with the basic rules and values. The central aspect of this facet is Rule of Law.
- The need to bring in change in attitude, secure greater involvement of the people in policing and spread human rights awareness and education are amongst the core issues for consideration.
- The police are embodied with a symbol of state power and this makes it more vulnerable to misuse it.
- Emphasize on the need for change in attitude because public servants are to serve the people and not to act as masters.
- The problem also lies in the fact that the judicial system and the different elements of the justice system-such as investigation, prosecution, the continuous adjournments in the courts due to witnesses not appearing, delays in justice and all this has failed and unless these are made functional there is going to be no dent on human rights issues.
- It is important for the civil society to be alert to ensure that the police provide proper service.
- Another form of poor policing is poor or lack of supervision of cases by senior officers especially in far flung police stations in the state.
