Summary[edit]

Description
English: The map shows crime rate trends against Dalits (Scheduled Castes), against Women and against overall population in India from 2001 to 2011 period.

The Indian government began tracking and reporting total crimes, crime by each category and crime rates per 100,000 against women and against Dalits as two separate chapters in Annual Crime Reports since the 1990s. The overall crimes and crime rate data has been tracked and reported in its Annual Crime Reports since 1953.

Crime rate in this chart is the broadest definition of crime under Indian law reported by the data source. It includes all IPC and SLL crimes, such as murder, attempted murder, death by negligence, arson, kidnapping, injury, theft, robbery, rape, assault, sexual harassment, riots, civil rights violation, crime of atrocity, cruelty by intimate partner or relatives, importation or trafficking of girls, persecution for dowry, dowry deaths, indecency, gambling, trespassing, violating local laws, and all other crimes covered under national and state laws of India.

Data Source: Incidence of Total Cognizable Crime (IPC) 1953-2011, Compendium of Crime in India, National Crime Research Bureau (NCRB), Union Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India (2012).

The data from the above single published report is also available electronically in individual annual crime reports from 2001 through 2011 here, under Publications tab, followed by Crime in India (1953-2012) sub-tab.

For cross country comparisons of violence/crime against women in India with rest of the world, see (a) India Statistics, w:United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (2013); (b) Crime victimization report by US Department of Justice, USA (October 2013).

Notes: (1) The above chart plots the rate from the data source table, not the total number of crimes. The total number of crimes per year has risen, as has the total overall population, total Dalit population, and total number of women in India. (2) The chart uses the Indian data source reporting basis of per "lakh" (100,000), rather than UNODC and US-DOJ basis of per thousand (1000).
