Prof. J.P.S. Sirohi’s Criminology and Penology is the detailed, treatise-style option for the criminology paper — the choice for students who want depth on the theory rather than a survey. Its criminology half examines the nature and definition of crime, the evolution of criminological thought, and the biological, psychological and sociological explanations of criminal behaviour in full, alongside white-collar and organised crime and the criminology of specific offences.
The penology half is equally thorough: the philosophy and theories of punishment, the history of prisons, reformative and correctional approaches, probation, parole, open prisons, and the rehabilitation of offenders, with the Indian statutory and administrative framework throughout. The 2024 edition is well suited to LLB criminology electives and serious judiciary preparation.
