Crime and Social Justice: Society and Law Enforcement

The present publication deals at length with some basic questions of crime and social justice in the context of the welfare state with a fairly evolved system of checks and balances. The papers and articles brought together from a wide range of sources, both national and international, cover such significant questions as, the concept of wrong, the strategies of low enforcement, the roots of criminality in the modern variegated and often socially fragmented society, the instruments of reform and the constant struggle to uphold human rights in the most difficult situations. Also included are the historical lows of Manu in the dispensation of social justice. The publication will be of considerable interest to all social scientists, sociologists, criminologists and practicing lawyers.
