socialize, educate and train the brilliant students from the available degree
holders of BA (preferably having sociology, or law in their graduate studies) or
LLB.

50. 5. The simple reasons for the laxity in our daily newspapers or talks on various
TV-channels on all issues are mostly journalistic and unprofessional in nature
and we don't have any trained and competent people in this field.
6. There is a need for more Security and Intelligence Agencies for controlling
crimes. Punishment cannot alone be given as a cure for handling crime
international, juvenile Delinquency, Deviance.
7. Special more institutes should be formed so that criminals with these
problems can be handled by criminal psychologist and can be treated in
that way. We don't have any such institute, nor do we have any concerted
efforts in this direction.
