Justice administration is hampered in India by a number of problems related to criminology and criminal justice. It is challenging to administer justice in India's criminal justice system because of many issues, including high wait periods, corruption, and inadequate budget. The legal architecture of the criminal justice system in India lacks adequate resources, which poses a difficulty for criminal justice experts such as criminologists. The force is underfunded, understaffed, and underequipped as a result of a shortage of forensic labs, resources, and qualified personnel. Because there are fewer of them, investigations are of a poorer caliber, delaying justice and leading to cases being cleared. Second, there is a lack of mutual trust between the police and the public. It is well known that cops can be harsh while holding suspects and that they can be corrupt. Because of this mistrust, people don't report crimes and won't help with investigations. Finally, the lengthy legal proceedings in India are a well-known feature of the system. The judicial system is slowed down, and the backlog of cases grows as a result of this delay, which therefore violates the fundamental right to a quick trial. Finally, the Indian criminal justice system's inability to effectively administer justice is caused by a number of problems. To successfully handle these problems, experts from the legal system, civic society, and the government must collaborate to develop a solution. Only a few of the measures that can greatly improve India's judicial system are increasing accountability, improving police training, and increasing resources. The intricate interplay between criminology and the Indian criminal justice system is the subject of this particular article. The different facets of crime, the challenges facing law enforcement, and structural issues affecting the administration of justice are also examined. By means of a critical analysis, this aims to shed light on the intricate workings of the criminal justice system and emphasize the necessity of significant reforms to deal with the system's core problems and ensure equity and effectiveness.
