CRITICAL THEORY: A CRITIQUE OF POLICE ADMINISTRATION

Security is a basic social need. The police administration is the basic form of social security. The Police administration-from the lowest ranking officials to the ranked officers , has always been an important institution in the social world.
Historically and most importantly in the present world , the police administration suffers from the problems created by a lack identity and value system.The administration has always been a tool for oppression, from which escape is virtually impossible.Police administration, as any other institution in a capitalist society, helps in the promotion and propagation of rational thinking in society. It has always helped in the consolidation of widely held social beliefs against the " marginalized population". While perpetuating mass culture the police administration has also indulged in crucifying the 'deviant' behavior which goes against the proponents of culture. This has created a system of fear culture.
Mass media also helps in building up the rational image of the police administration. Media achieves this by providing a credible space for the police in popular culture. Police administration has helped in the crystalization of thought and behavior in a one dimensional orientation.
A counter argument can also be made.In this current post industrial society the police has to address a myriad of problems, of both identity and culture. The influence of a liberal attitude in people's world view and individual based media consumption, the actions of the police are under constant scrutiny.
Every human relation in the final sense comes down to a dichotomy of choice and conflict and , borrowing the word of Shakespeare , the question will always be , "to be or not to be "

Critical Theory

Critical Theory is working for emancipation of the oppressed from the exploitation of Capitalists and others.  The modern trade union movements are part of this.  Most of the multinational companies are like the earlier colonialists.  They start their companies in a foreign country and exploit the labour power of that country.  They make maximum profit by investing cheap labour costs compared to the labour cost in their homeland.  The people ignoring these facts are becoming consumerised in the modern world.  This causes degradation in the traditional trade networks, culture etc.  So what have to do is to start indigenous industries, trade etc.  One should become self sustainable in this modern world to become least susceptible to exploitation.
