The Main Theme of the IICSS - SASCV ONLINE Conference is:

CRIME, JUSTICE, FORENSICS & VICTIMIZATION IN THE DIGITAL NATIVES ERA 

The present criminal justice system across the globe is increasingly becoming incapable of solving the larger social problem that creates crime and victims. Crime and its nature is in a continuous process of change, due to the transformation of the society, its ‘social norms’ and use of new technologies in today’s digital era. There are two types of people now who are being a part of the criminal justice, crime and victim processes. Digital Immigrants and Digital Natives. Digital Immigrants are the ones who were born before the arrival of the internet and Digital Natives are the ones that are born after the arrival of the internet. Digital Natives are far different people than the Digital Immigrants and they look Crime, Justice, Victimization from a far different angle.

The conceptualization of Criminal Justice Institutions (such as the legislative, the law-making process, police, judiciary, Forensics, correctional services, victims and other stakeholders), its functions and design with its futuristic needs, policy making according to the change in nature of crime and victimization in this Digital Natives Era are some of the concerns that this virtual conference would be looking into.

One of the major purposes of this Online conference is to critically look at Criminal Justice Institutions, through various approaches, specifically the Digital Natives perspective, the issues of gender (male, female & Transgender) in the crime, justice and victimization processes, the investigative process and evidentiary challenges in the context of forensics.

The virtual conference shall look at the research on the existing criminal justice institutions designs and analyses the gaps, keeping in mind the futuristic crime and victimization in the digital natives era, and in the end, work towards a better institutional arrangement for effectively delivering justice to those who are victimized.
