Criminology & Penology with Victimology

A scholarly work by Dr. N.V. Paranjape provides a clear and comprehensive explanation of the basic principles of Criminology, Penology, and Victimology. The author has endeavored to bring out this edition in a thoroughly revised form with all relevant statutory amendments and authoritative decisions on the subject.

An attempt has been made to evaluate the latest developing trends in the field, taking stock of contemporary changes of the new millennium which are taking place in other parts of the globe notably, Britain and the United States without, however, losing sight of the Indian perspective. Accessibly written for a wide audience, the book serves as a definitive reference for scholars and a broad survey for students in criminology and criminal justice.
