Researching Criminal Justice in India

Speaker: Anup Surendranath (NLU Delhi; Centre on the Death Penalty) This week we were joined by Anup Surendranath of NLU, Delhi, and Executive director Project 39 A.
He spoke about the complexities of criminal justice research in India: the lack of efficient legal representation, little regard for the social context of the accused, the ethics of evidence gathering, and the procedural inconsistencies in the process of data collection by the state.
