Book excerpt: Custodial Justice: A Study on Police Brutality in India from a Victimological Perspective is a compelling assessment of the systemic issues of police brutality in India, as seen through the lens of victimology. The book explores the experiences of victims who are abused by law enforcement while they are in custody—experiences that are often disregarded. It provides a comprehensive examination of psychological, social, & legal ramifications of abuse against people in custody. Through painstaking investigation and comprehensive case studies, book exposes the persistent abuse trends and the absence of accountability in the police department. It highlights the stark disparity that exists between the laws meant to safeguard individuals and the actual application of those laws. The report emphasises how the police system has to undergo extensive changes in order to guarantee that justice isn't just carried out but also perceived to be done. The book's emphasis on the views of the victims is one of its strong points. It highlights the experiences of those who have faced cruelty, giving them a forum to talk about what happened to them and how it has affected their life in the long run. The use of a victim-centered method is essential in comprehending the actual magnitude of the issue and the pressing need for reform. The book also addresses the roles that different parties play in addressing and reducing police brutality, such as the court, human rights organisations, and civil society. It highlights how crucial it is to put in place strong victim support networks and strict policies that hold offenders responsible. For academics, legislators, and advocates for human rights & justice reform, "Custodial Justice" is a vital resource. It argues for a more reasonable and compassionate approach to law enforcement in the nation and asks for a reevaluation of present procedures. The book seeks to add to the current conversation in the nation about police reform and the defence of human rights by bringing these important concerns to light.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book systematically introduces the practice of restorative justice in India, as a resource for comparative criminal justice research. “Restorative justice” focuses on the rehabilitation of offenders through reconciliation with victims, and with the community at large. It has gained momentum as a justice reform movement in Western countries within the past three decades, and it is estimated that up to one hundred countries worldwide utilize restorative justice practices. Within Western countries, it is seen largely a response or alternative to the perceived deficiencies of the existing criminal justice system. India has a rich tradition of restorative justice, and this work introduces both the traditional basis and contemporary practices of this justice system in India, in a comprehensive and systematic way. The contributions to this work cover three main areas: I. The Tradition of Restorative Justice in India II. The Development of Restorative Justice in India III. Restorative Justice Practices in India The third part – “Practices” covers special topics: including Restorative Justice and the Court, Restorative Justice and Incarceration, Restorative Justice and Juveniles, and Restorative Justice and Woman. The book covers the full range of the issues of restorative justice in India and will be a highly valuable resource book for researchers and upper level graduate students interested in alternative justice models in general, comparative criminology, and criminal justice in India specifically. “A landmark volume in the history of restorative justice and criminology in India. Many outstanding scholars in this collection outline the Indian experience of restorative justice from which the world has much to learn.” John Braithwaite Australian National University
