The criminal justice system in India aims to protect individual rights and society from crime. It consists of the police, prosecution, courts, and correctional institutions. The key laws governing the criminal justice system are the Indian Penal Code, Code of Criminal Procedure, and Indian Evidence Act. There have been calls for reforms in these institutions and laws to better achieve the objectives of the criminal justice system. Suggestions include segregating offenses in the IPC, amending sections of the Code of Criminal Procedure, improving evidentiary standards, and adopting new policing and prosecution methods. The overall goal is a system focused on reformation over simply enhancing punishment.
