Abstract
The main objective of the present research is to explain why the policy makers in
Pakistan have failed to reform the police in a manner consistent with the dignity,
prosperity and security of its citizens. It is pertinent to explore that why reformers
have either been ineffective to understand police’s structural imperatives or
having understood failed to translate their ideas into practice. Owing to these
problems society has become ungovernable. Any serious attempt to reform the
institution of police must take into account the history, culture and ethos of state
apparatus and society where the reforms are to be introduced. By explaining the
historical analysis of police reforms in Pakistan’s history has been examined
critically and comprehensively and an effort has been made to highlight ground
realities which would help policy makers and reformers understand the flaws of
erstwhile reforms and thus contributing towards the improvement of the
institution of police.
