The present society, characterised by scientific and technological advancement, has come to have entirely new forms of interactions and activities within the society. Doubtless, these have led to a marked improvement in the quality of life and to overall development and growth in the society. But at the same time, such advancements have caused several new challenges, which call for proper and immediate attention and societal response.

In the recent past, several developments have come about, at such a fast pace, that law and other regulatory frame work appear to be out of place or even inadequate. In the context of criminal law, there is a pressing need to devote a concerted attention and to observe and understand different facets of such developments. Assuredly, meaningful and effective measures are required to be adopted in law and the criminal justice processes at different levels.
