Forthcoming
Proposed International Criminology Day
The International Institute of Justice and Police Sciences (IIJPS), in collaboration with the South Asian Society of Criminology and Victimology (SASCV), proposes to observe 6 November as International Criminology Day. The day commemorates the 191st birth anniversary of Cesare Lombroso (1835 to 1909), the founding father of modern criminology.
Open access book release. To mark this proposed observance, IIJPS will release an open access (free) book, Criminology Guide for UGC NET Examinations, authored by Professor K. Jaishankar.
This initiative aims to celebrate the intellectual legacy of criminology and to promote access to criminological knowledge for students, researchers and academics.
