More than 9 million people remain in different jails all across the world every year and hundreds of millions are involved, acquitted for want of evidence or facing trials and then there are billions of victims of crimes and suffering the aftermaths of such criminal acts. For the last about four-five centuries, hundreds of researchers, criminologists, penologists, sociologists and many more have been trying to find reasons as why people commit crimes and on the basis of their research work and the theories propounded by them, the modern criminal law has been framed. During this period, about two dozen criminological theories have been propounded to explain various reasons of crime but no theory has been able to give the total explanation and reason for majority of crimes and so the solutions have also been inadequate and hence the ever increasing crime. Majority of these theories have been propounded by western researches. These theories mainly focus on physical features like city environments, social fabric, gang compositions, physical components of body etc. or learning techniques but have given little reasons for abnormal behavior of human beings which puts them on the path of criminality. This was because, western world had no knowledge about “Mind” or its pain giving aberrations like Greed, Anger, Lust, Ego, passion, aversion, revulsion, thirst for bodily enjoyments etc. which states of mind were rejected as ‘Mentalisms’ by western world, but for which, my theory and book has sufficient explanations as well as the mode to control the source, “The Human Mind”. For the last about twenty years, I have been thinking and working on these lines and have done extensive field work and about five years of research work and on the basis of my these works, I have propounded/invented a technique (Yogic Crime Theory)which not only quite possibly explains the reasons for all sorts of criminality and as to why people become criminals but also the way by virtue of which we can modify and change human behavior. This theory is a blend/fusion of Yoga, Criminology, behavior therapy etc. and is expected to bring perceptible change in our view about crime causation and will lead to new legislations and typolization of various crimes and their treatment modes being practiced till today. So far our approach has been to treat all sorts of offences and offenders by one yardstick, like treating all patients with one medicine and putting him on medication after he gets the disease, putting him in isolation wards without categorization and without going into the cause of the disease. This theory works on the mind of the criminal and has been successful in changing the composition and character of billions of neurons and human brain and changing his thought process, enfeebling his negative forces and then finally eliminating them from his brain, creating space in the neurons and filling up those neurons with positive thoughts and making him law abiding citizen. It’s a very complex process but quite achievable. It’s like changing/replacing the malicious programmes in a computer and then reformatting it and putting new software in it to make it people/user friendly. This technique is totally unique and have more than ninety percent success rate and is totally inexpensive. It can be of immense use to the private sector like industrial houses, educational institutions, civil society, persons involved in criminal justice system and governments all across the globe, facing the onslaught of criminality. My recently published book, “Controlling the Mind of a Criminal, the Yogic Way” largely explains the concept and I want to share the idea with all those involved in criminal justice system or like fields and hope the entire world will take benefit of this invention/propounding of a concept.

This Center caters to individuals being released from prison. We try to show men and women how to enjoy life without the use of drugs. We have incorporated a style as to working on members behavior. How we accomplish this is by interacting with the community. Peer to Peer takes these men and women on activities such as bowling, skating, and numerous other activities. What we are discovering is by letting the members know that it is okay to be scared and not know the answer is normal. We have a lot of success stories and would like to know how some of the other reentry programs are doing thing in their community. We keep a log of sign in sheets to account for the number of members whom have attended the Drop-in Center. We would like to invite you here to write about our success. My name is Mark Ross contact number is (614) 893-3113. The Agency where this Center is located is Columbus Area. Peer to Peer Drop-in Center invites you to join us for the holiday season to show examples of how successful all re-entry programs can be.
