Shivam Bhuwania, B.B.A LL.B. (H), Amity Law School, Patna ABSTRACT Victim compensation is an important part of the criminal justice system and victims' rights.

Saheba Shams, Kumail Asghar & Mohd Imran ABSTRACT Children of Incarcerated Parents (CoIP) is a group which is legally invisible in the margins of the criminal justice system in India. Almost 73.5% of India's inmates are undertrials, meaning that an estimated 800,000 to 900,000 children are exposed to extreme socio-economic and psychological situations without any transitional care system.

Pallavi Lakhera, Research Scholar, Faculty of Law, University of Allahabad, India ABSTRACT Illegal wildlife trade in India increasingly begins with a reel, listing or private message rather than a physical market.
