Venumadhava (Department of Criminology and Forensic Science, Karnataka University, Dharwad, Karnataka) Aim of this research study is to exhibits the present scenario of forensic hand writing analysis such as lack of knowledge regarding the forensic hand writing analysis in the criminal justice system including police force. Forensic document examination mainly concentrated on the analysis of disputed handwriting and signatures and comparison of disputed writing with standard writings. The criminal justice system is a system which provides justice to the person, who committed crimes. Objective of the hand writing analysis is the identification of the source of writing and its importance in particular offence, etc. The source of writing can be decided by the characteristics, which are available in the writing. In some cases the source of writing may leads to the identification of offender. Hence our criminal justice system should have the knowledge about the technology of forensic hand writing examination. As of this reason the evidence collecting authority whether it police or court should collect the proper and suitable standards. In this simple research study the examiner collect the number of files which have no proper standards available for the hand writing analysis and find the percentage of same. The percentage and result of the examination has been being discussed in detail in this research paper. As of this study we will get an alert for collecting the proper standards and importance of admitted standards on the forensic signature analysis and inevitability of possessing knowledge regarding the forensic hand writing examination in the criminal justice system. |

Page: 480-486 Uparikar D. Premkant and Singh R. Amool (Department of Clinical Psychology, Ranchi Institute of Neuro-Psychiatry and Allied Sciences, Kanke, Ranchi, Jharkhand) Models of psychopathology recognize that automatic behavior without conscious attention to behavior (mindlessness) is associated with intrusive and ruminative thoughts about past or future events, leading to distressed states of mind, passivity, and the repetition of habitual coping patterns that ultimately leads into emotional dysregulation. So, mindfulness based intervention can plays an important role on emotion regulation. Aim of the present study was to examine the application of Mindfulness based intervention on emotional regulation among individual with alcohol dependence syndrome. To carry out this study, fourteen individuals diagnosed with ADS were taken from inpatient services of RINPAS, Kanke, Ranchi. Amongst these, seven individuals were randomly distributed in experimental group (MBRPT group) and Treatment as usual group (TAU group). Amongst the fourteen patients, seven patients were the part of TAU group and they received treatment as usual only. Other seven patients, forming of MBRPT group were provided with the Mindfulness based relapse prevention therapy program. Nature of the sample was purposive sampling. Socio-Demographic and Clinical Data Sheet was used to obtain information about age, gender, education, duration of illness, symptoms, dependency pattern, and treatment history etc. Outcome variables were measures by two scales i.e. Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, and The Stages of Change Readiness and Treatment Eagerness Scale. Participants meeting inclusion criteria for the study were assessed by tools for pre-assessment. Therapeutic program consisted of approximately 16 sessions or as per as requirement. Outcome variables were emotion regulation, readiness for motivational change. The findings furnished evidence for the mediating mechanisms through which the relapse can be avoided by using higher emotional regulatory capabilities and tolerance of distressful emotional environment. Present study suggests that MBRPT leads to significant improvement in the acceptance of distressful emotions, less emotional involvement in engaging goal directed activities, intellectual awareness of ones emotions, positive over conventional patterns which stimulate accessibility of emotional coping strategies and readiness to change the current habit pattern. |

It is well known fact that the ethics have the power to create the holistic environment. However, it is a great paradox, we generally talk about the ethics but practically things are totally different. Ethics are not meant only for civic society, whereas these are applicable everywhere. Research and academic societies are also not untouched. However, in research and academic activities, infringement and breaching of ethics have been noticed. In fact, the concerned try to manipulate the things for their personal benefits. Consequently, things are marching towards wrong direction and thereby unethical things and contents cannot sustain in the national and international market. Therefore, these must be followed identically. The present study will try to find out the level of ethical behavior among the scholars and academicians. Further, the study will elicit the facts which will really help to improve the ethical practices. |

Presently, the libraries are not confined to procure the print materials and issue and return only. In the twenty first century, the Libraries have become the scaffold of different kinds sources and resources. In the 21st century, the users need the information at their fingertips and on single platform. Therefore, the technology has been adopted in the libraries pursuit and makes them capable enough to meet the requirements of the ultra-modern users. In fact, it won't be an exaggeration to say that technologies have changed the orientation of the societies in general and libraries in particular as libraries have reached at the threshold of the end users. Likewise, the lawyers have also required the latest information and archived information to pursue the case of their clients. Hence, legal libraries equally important even more updated in comparison to academic and public libraries. Moreover, library enhances the knowledge of the legal professionals. Therefore, the present paper will try to elicit the role of legal libraries for lawyers. |

Perhaps, it presents an obstacle to learning in the early developmental years, and the legacy of poor problem-solving is what later contributes to aggression. Research has shown that being young and reporting elevated levels of aggression and impulsivity is strongly associated with the frequency of aggressive acts in all groups (Smith & Waterman, 2006). The present paper reviews the interrelation between aggression and impulsivity and aggression. |
Page: 509-510 Gurnam Singh (GNC, Sirsa, Haryana) The present study investigated the role of psychoticism in elicitation of idiosyncratic word association long reaction time and repetition of word before responding onward association test performance. It was hypothesized that there would be no significant mean difference between high and low psychoticism group for word association test performance. To test null hypothesis the response of 200 male post graduate students for psychoticism and word association test performance were subjected to a computerized statistical analysis through SPSS 10.0 version for group statistics of median, mean, standard deviation, standard error mean and t-test for equality of means.It was found that there is a significant mean difference acceptable at 0.01 level of confidence in those high and low on psychoticism for long reaction time (t=-3.110). But the significant difference for UR (t=0.558) and RR (t=-0.771) was not observed. |
Page: 511-513 Sajjan Kumar (Department of Psychology, Govt College, Sector-1 Panchkula, Haryana) When the demands imposed on human resources are suitable in terms of their talents and resources and their amount of control over their work, it is considered a healthy job. When there is an imbalance, conflict arises. Work-related stress is one of the most potent psychological hazards of labour at the workplace. In today's fast-paced world, community care professions such as medicine, community development, crime prevention, pharmacy, educational, care for children, and occupational therapy are seen as high-stress vocations. Conflicts are arising in almost all professions. The present paper reviews on personal and organizational factors in work-life conflict. |
Page: 514-516 Radhika Mittal and Priyadarshini Purohit (Department of Political Science and Public Administration, P.O. Banasthali Vidhyapith Rajasthan) Educated women are the real legends of this mortal world, not only as they have reproductive power, but also because they can conquer the immense universe provided that their virtues are recognised globally and also acknowledged and practiced universally, most significantly within the social domains of life. They constitute one of the most educated classes, therefore, they contribute greatly in shaping the insights of the Indian youth and prove as the ultimate asset by contributing both domestically and economically to the society. But it is a great demise that in spite of various legal and constitutional safeguards and ample awareness, they could not exercise their social rights much effectively as especially the social crimes against them are increasing day by day and due to numerous causes such as patriarchal socialisation, defamation in society etc. Therefore, adequate efforts need to be taken in this regard to transfer a better legacy of access to rights to our future generations. |
Page: 517-520 Rajesh Sachdev (Department of Statistics, Ram Lal Anand College, University of Delhi, New Delhi) Punam Midha (Department of Psychology, M.D.U, Rohtak, Haryana) Adolescence is the most vital phase of life when teens are much bothered about their self-worth, which may serve as a resource of their happiness and well-being. The present study is an attempt to examine the level of self-esteem and explore it as a pathway towards happiness and well-being of rural teens. A purposive sample of 200 adolescents, 15-18 years old, both male and female, from rural background of Rohtak district, Haryana was drawn. Standardised tools were used to assess self-esteem, happiness and well-being of adolescents. The obtained data were analysed by using descriptive statistics, exploratory data analysis, correlational as well as regression analyses were computed. The findings indicated that though adolescents were enjoying high self-esteem yet lower level of happiness. However, above moderate level of overall subjective well-being was reported, where above average level of positive well-being was observed with moderate level of ill-being. Further correlational analysis indicated the positive link of self-esteem and happiness with overall subjective well-being. Regression analysis revealed self-esteem as the predictor of both happiness as well as overall subjective well-being. The current findings endorsed the suggestion to give interventions to rural adolescents for enhancing their level of happiness. |
