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.
