About the Indian Society of Criminology

The Indian Society of Criminology is a pioneer organization in the field of crime research and criminology in the nation. It was established in the year 1970, with the objective that the study and application of Criminology as a scientific discipline should be implemented in a broad scale in the society. The society boasts a membership of hundreds of members, both from India and abroad, comprising of criminologists, sociologists, psychologists, politicians, advocates, judges, social workers, and academicians. By organising the various annual conferences, lectures, and other such events, the Society aims to further its objectives of effective detection and prevention of crime while engaging the society in implementing the criminological approach. The previous annual conferences had been conducted at various Universities/ Institutes of national importance, where contemporary issues in the field of criminology have been discussed by the participants with a view to bring about measurable social change. The ultimate goal of the conferences is to ensure that the legislators, policy makers, and enforcement officials can benefit from the contemporary developments of criminology, both at the state and the national levels.

Theme of the Conference
Reimagining Criminology and Criminal Justice in the Context of Changing Paradigm of Science and Technology

The 21st century has seen rapid scientific and technological developments, that have applied in almost every sphere of life. In the modern era, crime and criminology are no longer considered to be solitary sectors, but rather, it is recognized that they need to be studied in the context of various other streams. These interdisciplinary areas include political science, sociology, psychology, anthropology, economics, and etc.
Such an interdisciplinary approach towards criminology has, in fact, been one of the most important steps in recent times towards crime prevention. Considering the fact that the goal of criminology is not just to have a theoretical understanding of criminal behaviour, but rather, to prevent the instances of crime in the society, this is a welcome move indeed. However, considering the fact that science and technology are rapidly developing sectors, with there being new and ground breaking developments on a yearly basis, the stream of criminology can also not remain stagnant.
Thus, it is an important discourse to consider how the current scientific and technological advancements will impact the field of criminology, and how the known theories and paradigms will change as a result of that. This is an important development in ensuring that the modern innovations can be utilized for crime reduction and prevention.

Taking this perspective into account, the conference will include the following sub-themes:

  • Development of criminology in the 21st century
  • Role of judiciary in recognising science and technology
  • Use of technology in combating organised and white-collar crimes
  • Contemporary scientific developments towards crime detection and prevention
  • Identifying patterns in criminal occurrence
  • Artificial intelligence and crime prevention
  • Cybercrimes and cyber forensics: a new era of technology and risks
  • Scientific techniques in combating mob-lynching and organized crime
  • Science & technology for women and children: Serving justice to most susceptible victims
  • Technological intervention in human trafficking investigation
  • New avenues of biotechnology for administration of criminal Justice
  • Humanitarian forensics in disaster victim identification: current trends and challenges
  • Human Rights, Criminal Justice System and Technological Development

The 43rd All India Criminology Conference is open for academicians, researchers, practitioners, and professionals otherwise engaged in the criminology and criminal justice sectors as well as interested learners and students.
