The Criminology PhD is designed to give systematic, flexible, and specialized instruction to anyone interested in working as a professional researcher. . It will help students develop the essential skills needed for future professional researchers in the social science of criminology, which are valued by both academic and non-academic organizations.

Criminology as an academic discipline and as a profession doesn’t enjoy its deserved status in Pakistan. There is a general apathy on part of the academics and practitioners to promote the scientific study of criminology. Moreover, the criminal justice system in Pakistan is a colonial remnant and is unable to meet the challenges of the rising crime rate and the associated complexities involved in the dispensation of justice. This is a descriptive research study. It describes the status of criminology in Pakistan by putting it into the context of socio-economic situation. This paper consists of two parts: Part-I describes crime situation in Pakistan, academic status of criminology, criminological literature and the professional criminological organizations in Pakistan. Part-II specifically deals with the criminal justice system of Pakistan including brief statistics, and reforms on each of the components of criminal justice system.

The author is highly grateful and indebted to the Assistant Editor of Pakistan Journal of Criminology, Mr. Imran Ahmad Sajid, a Ph.D. Research Scholar for collecting data from offices of the criminal justice units and locating some valuable references of criminology in Pakistan.

For example, in the most popular daily Aaj , Peshawar, many veteran coloumnists have written specific and special coloumns on criminology and the role of Pakistan Society of Criminology and its President (Dr. Zahoor Ahmad Awan, Daily Aaj , June 15, 2008., Prof. Dr. Inayatullah Faizi, Daily Aaj , Aug 15, 2008., and three consecutive coloumns written by Jamil Marghuz, Daily Aaj , September 19, 22, & 24, 2011. Another local daily Jihad published a one page English supplement report on 29th June 2010. The launching ceremonies of Pakistan Journal of Criminology have been given considerable coverage by most of the national dailies. The Radio Pakistan FM. 101 channel from Peshawar and Khyber News TV Channel had special interviews with Fasihuddin, Editor-in-Chief of Pakistan Journal of Criminology on June 16, 2011 and on September 20, 2011, respectively which were widely received and propagated.

 A major part of this portion is taken with permission from the essay of Mashood Ahmad Mirza, Role and Responsibilities of Public Prosecutors in Pakistan, published in Pakistan Journal of Criminology. Vol. 2. No.3. July 2010.

“Public Prosecutor”, means any person appointed under section 492, and includes any person acting under the directions of a Public Prosecutor and any person conducting a prosecution on behalf of the State in any High Court in the exercise of its original criminal jurisdiction. He is bound to assist the Court with his fairly considered view and the Court is entitled to have the benefit of the fair exercise of his function. AIR 1957S.C. 389.

 An Asian Development Bank soft loan to Pakistan is de facto primarily responsible for the Access to Justice Program, in which the state is engaged “in improving justice delivery, strengthening public oversight over the police, and establishing specialized and independent prosecution services”. In this we see the Police Act 1861 being replaced by the Police Order 2002 and new laws to constitute and provide for the functions of independent prosecution services in Pakistan, thus divorcing prosecution from the investigative arm of the police. Arguably, more valid grounds can be cited for the creation of an independent prosecution service in Pakistan, being article 175(3) of the constitution, which mandates that “the judiciary shall be separated progressively from the executive within three years from the commencing day”. Thereafter, there was the appeal decided in Govt. of Sindh v. Sharaf Faridi (PLD 1994 SC 105).

 In Sindh, for instance, it was done in 1986; see Zahid and Wasim 2010 , The province of Sindh as a case study on the prosecution service : http://www.article2.org/mainfile.php/0704/333/ as on 12 July, 2010.

 The laws providing for independent prosecution services are The Sindh Criminal Prosecution Service (Constitution, Functions and Powers) Act, 2009, The Punjab Criminal Prosecution Service (Constitution, Functions and Powers) Act, 2006, The North-West Frontier Province Prosecution Service (Constitution, Functions and Powers) Act, 2005 , The Balochistan Prosecution Service (Constitution, Functions And Powers) Act, 2003.

 See generally Chapter III of the North-West Frontier Province Prosecution Service (Constitution, Functions and Powers) Act, 2005 .

 “Public Prosecutor” means a person appointed as Public Prosecutor under this Act for the purpose of section 492 of Cr.PC and includes District Public Prosecutor, Additional Public Prosecutor, Deputy Public Prosecutor and Assistant Public Prosecutor as well as Special Public Prosecutor.

 A District Public Prosecutor in case of offences carrying seven years or less imprisonment and the Director General Prosecution for all other offences may withdraw prosecution subject to prior approval of Court. Provided that prosecution of an offence falling under the Anti Terrorism Act, 1997 (XXVII of 1997), shall not be withdrawn without prior permission in writing of the Secretary to Government, Home and Tribal Affairs Department. See also Section 494 of CrPC, “Effect of withdrawal from prosecution. Any Public Prosecutor may, with the....] consent of the Court, before the judgment is pronounced, withdraw from the prosecution of any person either generally or in respect of any one or more of the offences for which he is tried, and upon such withdrawal: (a) if it is made before a charge has been framed, the accused shall be discharged in respect of such offence or offences; (b) if it is made after a charge has been framed, or when under this Code no charge is required, he shall be acquitted in respect of such offence or offences”.

 “Preamble of the North-West Frontier Province Prose­cution Service (Constitution, Functions and Powers) Act, 2005 states that “WHEREAS it is expedient to reorganize and establish a Prosecution Institution with a view to achieving a speedy justice process in the North-West Frontier Province and for matters ancillary or incidental thereto”.

4. Conditional discharges, etc. — (1) Where a court by which a person, not proved to have been previously convicted, is convicted of an offence punishable with imprisonment for not more than two years is of opinion, having regard to:—(a) the age, character, antecedents or physical or mental condition of the offender, and (b) the nature of the offence or any extenuating circumstances attending the commission of the offence,that it is inexpedient to inflict punishment and that a probation order is not appropriate, the court may, after recording its reasons in writing, make an order discharging him after if admonition,, or, if the court thinks fit, it may likewise make an order discharging him subject to the condition that he enters into a bond, with or without sureties, for committing no offence and being of good behaviour during such period not exceeding one year from the date of the order as may be specified therein. (2) An order discharging a person subject to such condition as aforesaid is hereafter in this Ordinance referred to as “an order for conditional discharge”, and the period specified in any such order as “the period of conditional discharge”. (3) Before making an order for conditional discharge, the court shall explain to the offender in ordinary language that if he commits any offence or does not remain of good behaviour during the period of conditional discharge he will be liable to be sentenced for the original offence.(4) Where a person conditionally discharged under this section is sentenced for the offence in respect of which the order for conditional discharge was made, that order shall cease to have effect.
