Police Culture
Police culture is a type of organizational culture that
contains unwritten roles and social codes that dictate
the way that a person within the culture will function,
as well as building a strong sense of solidarity among
the group and a will to conform.

Police Culture in Pakistan

Police culture in Pakistan is generally termed as Thana
Culture.
Thana culture is deeply rooted within the policing system.
It has been prevalent since the colonial days and flourished
thanks to the politicians, bureaucrats and influential people.
The purpose of promoting and supporting this culture,
which includes rude behavior of the police, torture,
corruption, misuse of power, illegal detention and
inefficiency, was to use it according to ones desire.
