Abstract

For the sake of maintaining peace and security, law enforcement agencies are regarded as a critical component of a democratic society. Furthermore, in recent years, violation of human rights by the law enforcement agencies of Bangladesh have grown substantially. The focus of our study is on the pattern of law enforcement agency infractions and their influence on Bangladesh’s law and order. The objectives of this article are to determine the causes of human rights violations in Bangladesh, to make present laws more effective in order to reform the Law Enforcement Agency and evaluate Bangladesh’s current human rights condition. The study is qualitative in nature, with Bangladesh’s case law serving as the primary source of data. The study found that seventy five percent of the detainees were tortured in police custody. This paper also suggests ways to close the gaps that plague our security forces and change them into a force which operates by, under and for the law.
