MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR
Dr. S.L.Vaya
Director, School of Criminology & Behavioral Sciences Rashtriya
Raksha University
With the mandate to be a University of National importance, SCBS aspires to follow the trend by starting interdisciplinary academic programs in addition to regular courses like MA/ MSC Criminology & Crime Science & MA/MSC Forensic Psychology & certificate course in Cyber Psychology. Thus, SCBS has taken the lead to add up three innovative interdisciplinary advanced diploma courses. Students trained in these advanced courses will be able to provide services in juvenile homes and prisons for reformation and rehabilitation. These new interdisciplinary innovative courses are designed covering the gamut of understanding crime, criminality and internal security challenges, impact on mental wellbeing in appropriate courses & modules to prepare professionals capable of delivering mental health services to prisons & juvenile homes for reformation and rehabilitation. Restorative justice is an approach in which one of the responses to a crime is to organize a meeting between the victim and the offender, sometimes with representatives of the wider community. Mental Health/mental wellbeing are the gap that can be filled by developing extension services for early identification, intervention & reformation of disability, disorder and deviance. During Covid-19 pandemic SCBS started online share and care services for the psychological wellbeing of covid warriors and survivors. This gave an insight to establish RRU Mental Health Service facilities at Primary Health Center (PHC), Sampa, Community Health Centre (CHC), Dahegam and at the wellbeing clinic of Lavad village. SCBS is also aiming to set up ‘Forensic Mental Health Service centers’ inside prisons. SCBS is also aspiring to establish a ‘Psychological care and Protection center’ in joint collaboration with Hospital for Mental Health Ahmedabad for victims, and juveniles to provide OPD services to forensic care.
