A hallmark of any civilised society lay in the maturity and the erudition of its Criminal Justice System. Criminal Law like every other law has to meet the pace at which society is evolving. The deviant minds, whom Criminal Law seeks to apprehend and bring to justice have also become sophisticated and nuanced in their modus operandi’s, the 21st Century ‘criminal mind’ is far more multi-dimensional than what perhaps Macaulay’s Code could envision and account for. It is this fundamental reality which brings to the forefront the challenging responsibilities vested in the Committee for Reforms in Criminal Laws.
