Critical analysis of Probation of offender act 1958
Abstract
Mahatma Gandhi used to say that 'Hate the offence not the accused.' This makes it clear that the accused person is not an offender by birth. It is the circumstances which makes him offender. Thus, a person can be prevented from becoming an offender. One of the methods of prevention is probation. It is reformative method. It provides opportunity to accused to reform.
