Abstract

Scientific advancements have significantly influenced criminal jurisprudence in India, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of evidence in investigations and trials. Advanced forensic techniques, such as DNA profiling, fingerprint analysis, and digital forensics, have revolutionized criminal investigations and trials, providing more accurate and reliable evidence. Modern technologies, such as surveillance cameras, GPS tracking, and cyber forensics, have improved law enforcement agencies' capabilities in gathering evidence and tracking criminal activities. Expert testimonies from various scientific fields have become common, providing insights for judges and juries. Multimedia technologies have allowed for more effective evidence presentation, with visual aids, computer simulations, and 3D reconstructions helping judges understand crime circumstances more accurately. Psychological and behavioral science has contributed to developing criminal profiles, aiding law enforcement in narrowing down suspects and predicting potential criminal behavior patterns. Digital forensics have enabled the tracement of digital footprints and the origin of cyberattacks. Scientific insights into criminal behavior have influenced criminal justice reforms, emphasized rehabilitation and addressed root causes of crime. Technology adoption in court proceedings has increased access to justice, reduced costs, and expedited legal processes.
