About the Book :
Criminal justice system in India
is in disarray—say many concerned citizens of the country. Criticisms are plenty
against all sub-systems of justice administration. The services rendered by each
one of them are qualitatively poor and the integrity of the personnel involved
in the administration of criminal justice is at best suspicious. The idols are
crumbling down and there is a nation-wide cry and demand to set everything
right. Even the judiciary which includes the Bench and the Bar needs correction
to move with an upright conscience to the right direction. The book has chapters
for police, lawyers (prosecutors and defence counsels), judges, jail officials,
personnel involved in after-care services, media and public in addition to
chapters on crime and criminals/crime-doers. Each chapter contains nearly or
more than 200 management thoughts. The events, issues, illustrations and
incidents narrated in every chapter make the management thoughts more meaningful
and thought provoking. The experience of the author as a criminologist, teacher,
trainer, researcher and a practising lawyer has made the management thoughts
academic and practical—yes, the principles in theory are made into principles in
practice. The book will be a guide and philosopher for all who love justice,
administer justice, execute justice, adjudicate on justice and finally to
reintegrate crime-doers to society back to live as law abiding citizens.
