Criminal Justice: A Human Rights Perspective of the Criminal Justice Process in India by Dr. K.I. Vibhute – 1st Edition 2004

Description

Reforms in the criminal justice system have been a matter of frequent review and debate in India. In March 2003, the Malimath Committee submitted its report, suggesting a sort of overhauling of the fundamentals of criminal jurisprudence. It suggested the idea of fair, efficient and humane administration of criminal justice for restructuring and redefining operational orbits of all the constituent state functionaries ‘investigatory, prosecutory, adjudicatory and custodial’ of the criminal justice delivery system.

The present anthology,’Criminal Justice: A Human Perspective of the Criminal Justice Process In India’, incorporating thought provoking essays written by scholars from India and abroad and edited by Prof. (Dr) K.I.Vibhute, endeavours to delve deep into the’human rights perspective’ of the individuals’accused, prisoner and victim of crime’ who come in contact with the State, vital State functionaries’ the police, prosecution, courts and peno-custodial correctional institutions that are responsible for ensuring ‘Criminal Justice’. As such, time and text both were significant in conceiving this treatise on Criminal Justice and Human Rights.

The compilations of essays, in this background, also offer extensive deliberations on ‘criminal law and human rights’, ‘criminal justice’, and ‘human rights enforcement’, which would prove useful to Lawyers, Judges, Academics, Human Rights Activists and Administrators.
