In his lecture Mr Jamwal give a new crime theory called yogic crime theory. He while explaining his theory said the behavior of an individual depends upon the behavior of his neurons and jeans which is controllable.
This can be manipulated and taken towards positivity by disturbing the sequence of nucleo tides, Mr Jamwal said, adding this is possibly going to the covert behavior of the individual, his ideas, his consciousness, his greed, lust etc.
He said this all is possible by combining yoga behavior therapy and neuro biology. The enzymes and chemicals like Serotonin, Dopamine, Glumate and Gaba lead to precursors of criminality like ADSD, ODD & CD which can lead to Anti Social Personality Disorder (ASPD) that is the first stage of criminality, and this behavior can be changed, he added.
Speaking on the occasion Dr S P Vaid Additional DGP Administration while lauding Mr Jamwal said no one can deny the role of yoga in changing the behavior of a human being.
Candidly admitting that there are many defects in the system prevailing in India, he however said there are also countries where the foundations of the system are very well laid but they too are not crime free. If this was the reason then there should have been no crime in US and UK, he added.
Dr Vaid said there are harsh punishments in Saudi Arabia and asked whether the laws prevailing there have finished criminality at all? If tough laws were the answer to contain crime then in J&K there were tough laws during Maharaja’s time but criminality is still existing in the sate, he added.
Dr Ashok Bhan, Chairman IIPA, J&K Regional Branch said religion neutral moral education can play a great role in changing criminal behavior.
He said “if we have to survive as policemen we have to learn the criminal behavior.
He said there should be programmes in jails. Dr Bhan said that during a brief period he had interacted with the inmates in jails of Jammu and found that those people were undergoing life imprisonment were those who had no influence or support while those who had money and muscle power were freed.
Dr Bhan said when a person is released from the prison he should be accepted by the society. Stressing on jail reforms he also suggested that the family of a criminal be allowed to live in jail by constructing separate rooms for them.
