The law shapes your life far more deeply than you realise, yet for most people it still feels distant.Criminal law is one of the most talked-about and most misunderstood parts of the legal system. People form opinions quickly, conclusions arrive before facts are clear, and a gap opens between public understanding and legal reality.

The Citizen’s Guide to Criminal Law is written by Adv. Vikram J Singh founder of VJS Associates, for the ordinary reader who has never studied law yet lives under it every day. In clear, simple language, it walks through how the legal system works, what crime means in law, and how rights, evidence, and responsibility operate together in real situations, covering everything from how judges decide cases to everyday legal risks.

Adv. Vikram J Singh has built a respected practice across trial courts, the Delhi High Court, and the Supreme Court of India, and was honoured with the Bharat Jyoti Puraskar in 2026 for his contribution to legal services.

This book is for:

• Readers with no legal background who want to understand criminal law in plain language
• Anyone who has faced confusion, fear, or misinformation around a legal situation
• Citizens who want to move from guesswork to genuine legal awareness

From fear to clarity, from confusion to awareness, this book brings the law a little closer to home.
