- Summary:
- Crime in India is a wide-ranging and multi-faceted phenomenon affecting the elite and the masses, government officials and ordinary citizens, rich and poor, private corporations and public organizations, and rural and urban areas alike. How does an age-old civilization that is also a modernizing democracy with a booming economy but riven with divisions of religion, language, region, while stratified by class, caste, gender, and privilege, deal with its crime problems? This edited volume was conceived to answer this question. Book jacket.
