On the occasion of the forthcoming publication of the second edition of the Handbook of Comparative Criminal Law (1st ed. 2010), a panel of experts reflects on what has (and hasn’t) changed in Indian criminal law over the past decade and a half. Among the panelists is Professor Preeti Pratishruti Dash, who is updating the Handbook’s chapter on India.
This workshop follows up on last year’s MCLR+ event on India’s New Criminal Codes: Taking Stock and Looking Ahead (Mar 14, 2024), which featured the same expert line-up, as well as other MCLR+ events, publications, and resources focussed on Indian criminal law.
