Criminology has profoundly evolved, reflecting the complex and changing nature of crime and societal responses. Today, it goes beyond criminal behavior analysis and justice systems, incorporating interdisciplinary approaches. Rapid technological advances, globalization, and socio-political changes demand a comprehensive exploration of contemporary criminology. "Exploring the Depths of Criminology in the Contemporary Era" examines modern developments, integrating theoretical frameworks, empirical research, and practical applications. Emphasizing global perspectives and India's unique context, it offers a comparative framework through case studies and policy analyses. This book serves students, academics, practitioners, and policymakers, fostering critical thinking and informed debate in criminology.
