    About the Book

    Police Personnel Administration: A Case Study of Chandigarh Police offers a comprehensive exploration of policing in India through the administrative and operational lens of Chandigarh—one of the country’s most efficiently governed Union Territories. Rooted in democratic ideals, the book underscores the pivotal role of a responsive, inclusive, and accountable police force in upholding public welfare, civil liberties, and justice. By integrating historical evolution, legal frameworks, empirical data, and perceptual insights, this work examines how police personnel administration intersects with broader governance outcomes, particularly in the domains of gender representation, institutional integrity, and crime prevention.

    The book is structured into six parts and spans key areas such as recruitment, training, promotion, disciplinary mechanisms, and public service delivery. It delves into the specific challenges and opportunities of integrating women into the policing framework, drawing from both national trends and localized realities. With a focus on Chandigarh—where women constitute over 22% of the police force—the book assesses the correlation between female representation and enhanced crime reporting, community trust, and institutional effectiveness.

    Through detailed chapters on legal doctrines, statistical analysis, and public perception studies—including a survey of 310 women citizens—the book validates the hypothesis that greater participation of women in policing leads to improved access to justice, particularly in gender-based crimes. It also offers critical insights into issues of under-representation in specialized units, persistent manpower shortages, and the need for data-driven policy reform.

    The final chapters provide a robust set of strategic recommendations and policy-level solutions aimed at improving gender equity, administrative efficiency, and public trust in police systems. These include a 23-point reform framework, data normalization models, and forward-looking projections for crime and personnel trends through 2025.

    Intended for academics, policymakers, public administration scholars, and law enforcement professionals, this book presents a pioneering case study that bridges empirical rigor with policy relevance. It is both a scholarly contribution and a practical guide for transforming police personnel administration in India into a more inclusive, accountable, and democratic institution.
