1st RGNUL-CCV Policy Making Competition [Registration starts from September 10, 2021]

Keeping in mind RGNUL’s broad policy of promoting research in the field of law, the Centre for Criminology, Criminal Justice, and Victimology (CCV) was purposefully established to provide critical and necessary focus towards fostering the goal of carrying out fundamental and applied research on the evolving aspects of transformative criminal justice systems. The Centre recognises and caters to the progressive and dynamic nature of developing criminal jurisprudence in India and around the world, and thus firmly intends to conceptualise pro-victim research, training, policy analysis, and consultancy with a specific emphasis on interdisciplinarity while achieving the desired goals.

The Centre for Criminology, Criminal Justice, and Victimology (CCV) at Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law, Punjab, is sponsoring the first RGNUL-CCV National Policy Making Competition in 2021.
