Crime is socommonplace that prevention and security measures are viewed as natural and necessary precautions inboth public and private life. A considerable and growing percentage of public resources are allocated forjuvenile delinquency prevention initiatives, law enforcement training and technology, corrections,substance abuse treatment and numerous other aspects of criminal justice.OBJECTIVESThis course of Crime and Punishment would (a) attempt to answer such queries of the human mindand afford explanations to criminal behaviour and reactions to crime.(b) It is an ongoing study with numerous researches and surveys been conducted all over the worldto find the most suitable explanation of criminality and criminal behaviour, nevertheless, there is no finalanswer, which will be examined.(c ) Concern for the Victims of crime would be another facet of the study of the subject withemphasis on concepts of restorative justice, compensatory jurisprudence and rehabilitative techniques.THE EVALUATION SYSTEM Continuous AssessmentProjectEnd Term Test30%20%50%
