This tragic and eye- FORTHCOMING EVENTS opening incident calls for reflection – reflection about laws which have FACULTY UPDATES so far failed to check the frequent incidents of sexual assault on women LEGISLATIVE TRENDS not just in the national capital but also in other parts of the country and reflection about INTERNATIONAL LEGAL NEWS AND EVENTS the society in which we live in. An outraged and shocked nation demands stringent RECENT JUDICIAL DECISIONS punishments for rapists including death penalty in rarest of rare cases at least. But MY EXPERIENCE WITH LEGAL administration of capital punishment is not without problems. Delays in sentencing and AID PROGRAMME OF LAW executions, growing number of death row convicts and inconsistencies in the Supreme SCHOOL Court's own jurisprudence on death penalty call for an informed debate over the necessity of retaining death penalty in the statute books. Furthermore, death penalty shifts the focus away from the real issue to the controversies surrounding the penalty itself. Editorial Committee Social outrage leads to reform; and in the wake of Delhi gang-rape case, one can hope Editor in Chief that some far reaching criminal law reforms await us. But not just the criminal law Professor B.C.Nirmal reform-substantive and procedural but also police and judicial reforms are the need of Head and Dean Managing Editor the hour. These reforms are long overdue and should be put high on agenda. Dr. Ajendra Srivastava Yet we should not live in the illusion that stringent laws can alone bring about the change Executive Editors Dr. Rajnish Kumar Singh we are looking for. There are other ways and which are perhaps more important. Public Shri Raju Majhi monitoring, media exposure, sensitizing the people towards the rights of women and Members children are very important not only in curbing the sexual violence only but also Dr. C.
