THE POLICE IN WAR - Fighting Insurgency, Terrorism, and Violent Crime: David H. Bayley and Robert M. Perito; Pub. by Lynne Rienner Publishers, 1800, 30th Street, Boulder, Colorado 80301. Price not stated.
Following the Dantewada and other Maoist attacks in India, there has been an animated debate whether the State police and the Central forces, such as the CRPF, have been adequately trained to handle insurgency of the Maoist variety. There is the inescapable impression that the training methods are outdated, suitable only for humdrum policing during normal times, and that there is a good case for their imaginative revamping. Inspiration from domestic experts is no doubt welcome. Drawing from the experience of police agencies in conflict-ridden areas elsewhere is also not a bad idea.
