Call for Papers! SRMUH Law Review (Vol 2 Issue 1 & 2) 2024! Submission Deadline- 15th August, 2024!

SPECIAL VOLUME ON NEW CRIMINAL LAWS AND ITS INTERFACE

The SRMUH Law Review invites academicians, researchers, scholars, practitioners, and experts in the field of law to contribute their original research articles, case studies, and critical analyses for Volume 2, Issue 1 of the Journal. The Indian criminal justice system is undergoing significant changes, driven by new criminal laws and judicial interpretations. The theme “Changing Facets of Criminal Jurisprudence in India with Special Reference to New Criminal Laws” highlights these transformations, reflecting the evolving nature of legal frameworks aimed at addressing modern challenges in crime and justice. Legislative amendments to the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) and the Indian Penal Code (IPC) along with the Evidence Act seeks to bring procedural safeguards and redefined offenses, aligning them with contemporary socio-economic realities. For example, stricter laws against sexual harassment and the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act showcase the focus on gender-based violence and financial fraud. However, at the same time criticism of the new laws is also there, which demonstrates the need for more research on the changes in criminal laws.

We invite researchers, scholars, practitioners, and experts in the field of law or interested researchers from other discipline to contribute their original research articles, case studies, and critical analyses. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Reforms in Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC)

• Challenges in Implementing New Criminal Laws

• Impact of the New Criminal Laws on Victim Rights

• Gender-Specific Criminal Laws and Their Effectiveness
