We are excited to announce the 3rd Virtual Conference on Crime & Society: Contemporary Challenges & Evolving Responses, organized by Vidhi Vaarta in collaboration with Doon Journal of Multidisciplinary Research (DJMR) and in partnership with Knowledge Steez EduHub. This interdisciplinary event aims to explore the intricate relationship between crime and society, addressing both traditional and emerging challenges in a rapidly changing world.
About the Conference
Crime is more than a legal violation—it’s a reflection of societal structures, values, and transformations. With advancements in technology, globalization, and shifting norms, crimes are evolving, impacting social order, governance, human rights, and public trust. This national conference provides a platform for scholars, legal professionals, researchers, practitioners, and students to discuss these dynamics and evaluate responses through law, policy, and criminology.
Key Objectives:
- Analyze the evolving nature of crime in modern society.
- Examine social, economic, and technological factors influencing criminal behavior.
- Assess crime’s impact on individuals, communities, and institutions.
- Evaluate legal, policy, and criminological strategies.
- Foster interdisciplinary research and dialogue.
