Criminal law/Criminal justice is a fascinating branch of knowledge, both as a law course and as a means for understanding the nature of a given society.
Criminal Law and Criminal Justice: Advanced Legal Writings by Prof. B.B. Pande is an outcome of a unique initiative that was mainly aimed at broadening the horizons of criminal justice knowledge. The first nine writings relate to substantive criminal law and the later three to procedural law themes. Each of the Writing is devoted to exploring the select core theme in terms of certain vital inquiries/issues.
1. Aim at enabling the reader to have a better understanding of the dynamics of the criminal law/criminal justice rule of law in a wide angle, cutting across countries and time periods.
2. Reflect on the criminal law and criminal justice legality at the normative and grassroots level.
3. The aim of these Writings is to impart critical knowledge on issues that remain marginalized in law curriculums.
4. Have a broader and critical view of the criminal law and criminal justice realities not limited by the requirements of a course.
The Writings will prove path-breaking in respect to the objective of updating the knowledge base in the criminal law and criminal justice subject for the learners, teachers and researchers.
Prof. Pande's thoughts speak of philosophical foundations and the shape of the system of criminal justice of the future.
The uniqueness of Prof. Pande's Writing lies in their ability to traverse from the primitive criminal law/criminal justice concepts to the contemporary forms holding immense value equally for the law student, researcher, lawyer and the Judge.
