ParentsWorld India

|

November 2023

According to latest data of the National Crime Records Bureau — a statistical unit of the Union home ministry — a crime wave is sweeping India.

Spiralling demand for CRIMINOLOGISTS

In 2021 there were 29,272 registered cases of murder; 31,677 of rape; 101,707 kidnappings and abductions, of which most were of women and girls.

Little wonder that the demand for trained criminologists professionals who determine the causes and effects of criminal activity with the objective of developing strategies to abate crime and rehabilitate both victims and criminals -is spiralling.

Criminology involves the study of criminal activity, socio-economic causes of crime and its consequences. Essentially criminologists are social scientists who examine society's response to crime and suggest ways and means of crime prevention.

STUDY PROGRAMMES

Professional study programmes in criminology and allied disciplines are available at the undergraduate, postgraduate, M.Phil and Ph D levels. Programmes under the criminology umbrella including forensic and social sciences are offered by:

• University of Delhi

• Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai

• MS University, Tirunelveli (Tamil Nadu)
