The Simplest Book on Law of Crimes – Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita

The Simplest Book on Law of Crimes – Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita is a compact, plain-English companion to India’s modern criminal code designed for quick learning and practical use. It combines foundational criminal-law theory (actus reus, mens rea, stages of crime), systematic chapter coverage of substantive offences (against the person, property, reputation, the state) and focused modules on inchoate crimes (abetment, conspiracy, attempt). The text integrates the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023 reforms—structural simplification, gender-neutral definitions, new offences like organised crime (Sec.111), mob-lynching (Sec.103(2)), and hit-and-run provisions (Sec.106(2))—and explains sentencing innovations such as community service and victim-rights provisions. Each chapter pairs short doctrinal summaries with illustrative examples, case-based notes and exam-style practice problems so readers can practise issue-spotting and answer writing under time pressure. Practical features—practice problems after chapters, clear comparisons between BNS and IPC-era positions, and accessible language—make this a reliable course companion for students, a quick refresher for junior practitioners and a useful primer for police trainees and paralegals.
