The Book of Abstracts of the International Conference on “From Micronarratives to Metanarratives: Reimagining Criminal Jurisprudence in a Globalised World”, organized by the Central University of Karnataka, Department of Law, presents a rich compilation of contemporary scholarship in criminal law. The volume captures diverse perspectives on emerging challenges such as digital crimes, environmental criminality, forensic reforms, cyber jurisdiction, juvenile justice, and decolonizing criminal jurisprudence. It reflects a critical engagement with India’s recent criminal law reforms, including the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, while situating them within global human rights and comparative legal frameworks. By bridging localized experiences (micronarratives) with universal legal principles (metanarratives), the book fosters interdisciplinary dialogue among scholars, practitioners, and policymakers, offering innovative pathways toward a more inclusive, accountable, and technologically responsive criminal justice system
