All the dignitaries, field experts, and policy advisors have been kind enough to accept our invitation.
About the Indian Society for Criminology (ISC)
The Indian Society of Criminology (ISC) was established in 1970 to advance the study and application of Criminology and Allied sciences for the welfare of society. It also endeavoured to facilitate cooperation among persons interested in the prevention and control of crime, which has escalated over time. Over a short span, the ISC developed into a pioneering National organization due to the cumulative efforts of its dedicated founders.
The society was initiated by professionals, namely, Professor T. E. Shanmugam, Mr Pitchandi, Justice V. R. Krishna Iyer, Mr. Pon Paramaguru, IPS, Professor K. Chockalingam; and Mr K. Mani. Lately, this enterprise has extended and decided to promote Criminological education and advanced Research in the area of Criminology, and it is in this spirit that the Indian Society of Criminology (ISC) organizes an International Conference every year, at different locations. A platform that has now become a major attraction for budding criminologists to shape their thinking and invite interest in the interdisciplinary field of criminology
