Abstract

This research is conducted to study the factors related to the effectiveness of the work of  police force of Pakistan. The research aims to identify the indicators which promote crime in the country and to recommend effective strategies to curb and mitigate the crimes in the province by utilizing all the available resources of the country by police in collaboration with the other sister agencies. Motivation factors and hygiene factors are positively related to work efficiency and effectiveness of policing. Police officers of all the districts strongly felt that adequate modern facilities are a major factor in facilitating the increase in work efficiency, while the imbalance of manpower and lack of modern facilities were obstacles to the concert of the force. The police officers and the social scientist expert are of the view that effective patrolling, effective and specialized criminal investigation, and fair trial are the backbones of the criminal justice system that ensures curbing of law and order situations in the country. When the criminals have not been convicted by the courts the trust in the police department's performance goes to ashes. During the research work, the respondent’s police officers stated that until all the pillars of the criminal justice system work coherently the desired results of criminal administration of justice can’t be achieved. Policing conduct under the Islamic laws and principles is also adjudged during the study . Importance of Artificial intelligence in the policing  of Pakistan is also discussed besides need for its legal framework in the country. Qualitative research methodology is employed to complete the research process and to adduce the results that is best suited to the research of social sciences.
