Kiran Bedi
At the Regional IAVE Conference in India early in 2002, Dr. Kiran Bedi,
the first and highest ranking woman in the Indian Police Services, shared
some of her experiences in helping the poor of Delhi. In this first-person

methods of prevention, correction, treatment, rehabilitation and social
development."
