INTRODUCTION

In April 2020, the world was amid a pandemic, and conditions were unlikely to return to normal very soon. Covid-19’s proliferation at that point was being contained by lockdowns and social distancing, therefore courts had to be shut down. “In India, the administration of justice has a history of being slow, and the coronavirus exacerbated the problem.” Though Supreme Court permitted cases to be filed and heard online, the judiciary was still overworked and hearings being now completely being online, substantially hindered a large number of cases. This continues to be the case even now.
“Hence, to relieve the pressure on the courts, an innovative and effective solution is needed, and “online dispute resolution or ODR”, maybe the answer.”

WHAT IS ODR?

ODR (Online Dispute Resolution) is a technique that combines technology and “alternative dispute resolution” (ADR) mechanisms to resolve conflicts outside of the courtroom. “It refers to online conflicts that were started in cyberspace but resolved with a source outside of it, i.e., offline. Many businesses, particularly those with a high volume of low-value cases, can benefit from ODR since it is a speedier, more transparent, and more accessible way to handle disputes online. Given the increase in the number of online transactions in India and since the internet is also becoming accessible day by day, there is no better time to recognize ODR as an efficient tool for resolving disputes and thereby construct a rapid and fair dispute resolution system.”
ODR as a technique was also praised by Justice Chandrachud during one of the conferences, he said, “I firmly believe in the role ODR can play in today’s digitally transformed world. This is not just because of the process being conducted virtually, but also because of its firm willingness to adopt all forms of digital solutions available. In my opinion, one of the most important learnings from the past year of virtual hearings has been that the process can often be far more efficient because of very simple changes–the use of digital files by all parties, the ability to make digital notes, and having all documents in one place.”

BENEFITS OF ODR

• Solving and having all the hearings of all disputes online, aids in the generation of a large amount of data, that data can prove to be useful for other cases being solved in virtual formats.
• ODR also makes the entire process of justice more affordable and accessible to the masses.
• Parties also perceive ODR to be comparatively more amiable and solution-oriented in comparison to traditional courts.

PRESENT STATUS OF ODR IN INDIA

There have even been various instances in which the courts of India have expressed the need for the ODR. Justice Ramana had stated that “ODR can be used to successfully resolve consumer, family, business and commercial disputes.113 He noted the need to cut down on paper, which has been a part of the system for a very long time. The process has started by relying on e-filing of digital paper books instead of hard copies.” “In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, even the Ex-Chief Justice of India, Justice Bobde has noted the need for steps to be taken to make courts virtual to prevent the shutdown of the top courts.”

CASE LAWS RELATED TO ODR IN INDIA

The Supreme Court of India has played a very important and crucial role in laying down the foundation stone of ODR in India. “It has upheld the validity of video-conferencing as a mode for taking evidence and testimony of witnesses in State of Maharashtra v Praful Desai[1] and went on to call ‘virtual reality the actual reality.” “A similar trend was followed in Grid Corporation of Orissa Ltd. v AES Corporation[2] where the court held that if consultation could be achieved through electronic media and remote conferencing, people didn’t need to sit with each other in the same physical space.” “In M/S Meters and Instruments Pvt. Ltd. vs. Kanchan Mehta[3] it observed that there was a need to consider categories of cases which can be partly or entirely concluded online without the physical presence of the parties and recommended the resolution of simple cases like those concerning traffic challans and cheque bouncing.”

FUTURE OF ODR IN INDIA

“Investing in ODR and using more advanced second-generation technology can assist India is moving toward a more futuristic justice system.” India possesses the necessary components for implementing a “comprehensive framework for technology” in conflict resolution processes, “including institutional willingness, competence, and, to a considerable extent, technological capability. Moving forward, a modular plan for increased innovation and transformation must be implemented in a way that addresses both immediate and long-term needs.”

CRITICAL ANALYSIS

There is no denying the benefits that Online Dispute Settlement has brought to the Indian system, including the benefit of “quick and painless justice” but the disadvantages of using technical features in dispute resolution cannot be overlooked. The key motivation for the concept is the “perpetual dread of information disclosure and the lack of resources” to engage and reap the benefits of such disclosure. Because the entire process is conducted online, it necessitates the uploading of documents, data, and other personal information to the appropriate platforms. It surely exposes the “information to the hands of criminals who can hack into the networks and obtain the same data. It has also been repeatedly underlined that additional private sector experience should be used in the setting to overcome the existing difficulties, particularly those linked to safeguards.”[4]

CONCLUSION

Finally, it can be claimed that while the expansion of Online Dispute Resolution has relieved the judiciary of the burden of cases, the efficiency of the rulings has not been up to par due to a lack of sufficient infrastructure and technology. “Only individuals who were technologically literate and had access to appropriate gadgets were eligible for the reward. People became aware of things that can be done digitally and even the notion that conflicts may be addressed through online media just due of Covid-19.”

INTRODUCTION

When a crime happens, there are various reasons behind it. But the reasons are usually not known to most of us. Criminology theories or theories of crime describe those reasons. An individual can commit a crime for satisfying different needs. Crime causation has always been a complex field[1]. For a long time, scientists and experts have been trying to figure out what causes crime. There are several theories regarding this issue of explaining crimes which have been explained in the later parts of this article. As had been already mentioned, this article primarily deals with the psychological theories of crime. The psychological theories have been proven to be one of the most significant ones out of all the other theories. It can further be divided into “psychodynamic theory”, “behavioral theory”, and “cognitive theory”[2].

DETAILED ANALYSIS OF THE PSYCHOLOGICAL THEORIES OF CRIME

The first element of the psychological theories of crime is the “psychodynamic theory”.
The “psychodynamic theory” had been based on the approach that Sigmund Freud had concerning the field of psychology. It has the components of “id”, “ego”, and “superego”. Some experts had accepted that there is a link between this theory and the causation of a crime. According to them, any kind of imbalance amongst the abovementioned components might be a cause behind delinquency. At the same time, this belief had been disregarded by many scientists who believe that there is no such link between these components and criminology. The main problem that lies with this theory is that it is difficult to test[3]. This theory also mentions that an individual’s criminal behavior can get projected when there is an imbalance in the psyche of the individual. Such imbalances often happen as a result of an unpleasant childhood. Disturbing childhood experiences might trigger bitter emotions in individuals even in their adulthood.
The next important component of the psychological theory is the “behavioral theory”. Experts say that human behavior develops based on the experiences that they gather with time[5]. If a person is in the company of those who endorse and even reward criminal conduct – particularly those in positions of authority – they will continue to engage in that behavior and attitude. According to social learning theorist Albert Bandura, “Individuals are not born with an innate ability to act violently. He instead suggests people learn violent behavior through observing others. Typically, this comes from three sources: family, environmental experiences, and the mass media.” Behavioral issues can happen due to family issues, violent environments, drug problems, etc. Proper behavior comes as a result of proper conditioning. Childhood plays an important role when we talk about the psychological theories of crime.
Finally, the cognitive theory is an important element of the psychological theory. Individuals’ mental processes or cognitive functions are the focus of psychologists in this field. More notably, cognitive theorists seek to comprehend how criminal offenders perceive and mentally represent their surroundings[6]. This element is more about how an individual judges the morality of a situation, and how they differentiate right from wrong. There are certain levels and stages in this theory. The cognitive theory and the behavioral theory are quite interlinked to each other.

OTHER THEORIES OF CRIME

The various theories of crime apart from the psychological theories are mentioned as follows: “Biological theories”, “Economic theories”, “Psychological theories”, “Political theories”, “Sociological theories”, “Strain theory”, “Social learning theory, “Control theory”. The biological theory states that a link can be established between the biological state of a person to their criminal tendencies. It also suggests that genetics play an important role in determining the criminal behavior of an individual. Sociological theories are another important set of theories in the field of criminology. This theory can further be divided into three theories: “strain theory”, “social learning theory”, and “control theory”. In the case of a strain theory, an individual does criminal activities because they experience extreme stress and negativity around them that makes them act in a particular way. According to social learning theory, individuals get involved in crimes due to social situations around them (for instance “peer pressure”). Finally, control theory is defined as the situation where an individual feels that they can achieve a thing conveniently through crimes.
There are a lot of other theories, that have been proven to be very useful in studying the reasons as to why a criminal commits the crime.

IMPORTANCE OF CRIMINOLOGY THEORIES

It is extremely important to know why an individual commits a crime. If that becomes known, it will be easy to avoid crime. These criminology theories help the law experts, policymakers and experts belonging to other fields like psychology[7], to frame a society that is free from criminal activities. Studying these theories also helps in finding new ways to deal with delinquents. The “cognitive-behavioural approach” assists delinquents in developing basic socially appropriate abilities for identifying and resolving conflicts and problems[8].

CONCLUSION

It can be concluded from the article that it is essential to study criminology theories to understand crimes from their grassroots level. Criminology and criminal law are very much related to each other. Punishments mentioned under criminal law are supposed to help the delinquents to become better people. In a way, it also affects the psychology of the individual. Similarly, criminology also helps in understanding the minds of criminals. After lots of studies, it had been found that these crime theories (especially the psychological theories) are very much linked to the criminal mindsets of individuals.
