Criminology related Research Projects at JIBS
INTERNET INFIDELITY IN THE INDIAN CONTEXT
The rapid development of Internet and social networking services have augmented the possibilities to engage in activities online that can be classified as infidelity and introduced new challenges for couples. We examined the complexities for the Indian scenario.
CONFLICT MANAGEMENT AND CONFLICT SOLUTION
Funded by the Bureau of Police Research and Development (Ministry of Home Affairs), Government of India, the project looked at the dynamics of the conflict between the members of the general public and police.
EUTHANASIA
Euthanasia or assisted suicide-and sometimes both- have been legalized in a small number of countries. Proponents of physician-assisted suicide (PAS) may feel that an individual's right to autonomy automatically entitles him to choose a painless death. However, the Indian context misses the opinion of ordinary citizens. The attitudes of the general masses towards Euthanasia were assessed, as a part of the exercise.
VICTIM ASSISTANCE BILL
CVPS first project on victim assistance created a thorough review of the existing compensa-tion for crime victims across and support services globally. Constant engagements in meetings and discussions with lawyers, social workers and non-profit organizations have been a part of the research on understanding different perspectives on the need for a victim assistance bill since January 2015-and continued to September 2016.
