Criminal Law and Criminology

Description

Criminology is the study (or scientific study) of criminal behaviour on the individual and social levels. It includes theoretical and practical investigations into the nature, consequences, prevention, control, management of criminal behaviour, including penal and corrective measures for such behaviour.
Criminal law is the body of law that relates to crime. It proscribes conduct perceived as threatening, harmful, or otherwise endangering to the property, health, safety, and moral welfare of people. Most criminal law is established by statute, which is to say that the laws are enacted by a legislature. It includes the punishment of people who violate these laws. These laws vary according to jurisdiction, and differs from civil law, where emphasis is more on dispute resolution and victim compensation than on punishment. Criminal procedure is formalised official activity that authenticates the fact of commission of a crime and authorises punitive treatment of the offender.
This book on Criminal Law and Criminology is a masterly exercise to project the latest innovations, through judicial and administrative techniques of creativity. The important issues challenging the very concept of criminal jurisprudence that has become obsolete in a number of areas has been thoroughly discussed in this classic book.
