Kerala Tops National Crime Records Bureau
God's own country is Goon's own country say new statistics by the National Crime Records Bureau.

Increased political killings have marred the state's reputation of late.

Is God's own Country, the country's crime capital? So says the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) about Kerala, the country's showpiece for human development.

According to NCRB's latest annual report for 2011, Kerala ranked first in criminal activity among Indian states and union territories while the state's commercial capital Kochi held the same dubious record among Indian cities.
This has provoked angry outbursts from the Kerala government, opposition and also its police department which have questioned the methodology of NCRB's rankings.

"Crimes are seen to be high in Kerala only because it is the most enlightened state where every crime is recorded" said Chief Minister Oommen Chandy. "Not Kochi but Delhi is the country's most criminal city" claims Jacob Punnuse, Director General of Police and calls for a revamping of NCRB's ranking methodology to rank criminality.

Shashi Tharoor, MP from Thiruvananthapuram tweeted ; "Kerala keeps accurate statistics. The badlands don't".

While Kerala was ranked first in criminality, "badlands" like Bihar or UP were ranked at 24 th and 30th respectively.

Evidently what earned Kerala the dubious distinction was that criminality was calculated on the basis of Rate of Crimes (RoC) ie; number of crimes registered per one lakh population.

Kerala's Rate of Cognizable Crime (RCC) is 515.6 per lakh of population as against an all India average of 192.2. RCC in UP was merely 97.8 and of Bihar, 130.9.

No wonder Kerala, with a lower population than the "badlands", has topped in criminality although it was ranked 6th in the Incidence of Total Cognizable Crimes (TCC).

Kerala's population is 3.34 crores compared

    Crime Data Comparsion Paper

    The two metropolitan areas are DeKalb and Fulton County; these are metro area based out of Atlanta, Georgia. These are the two major counties in Atlanta. Therefore, this were the most crime occur, wither it is reported it still unknown. For the most part, the comparison between the two is that Fulton County crime rate is much higher than DeKalb County. For example, the percentage of violent crime and property crimes has a much high rate in Fulton County between 1999- 2008 (RecordsPedia, 2009). This means during the period these crimes were reported Fulton County became the city with the most crimes that may or may not have been reported to local officials. Police officers could only do more patrolling, but they could not catch every crime that may have occurred within this county along. DeKalb County is this not out of the wind because crime is still happening in this county as well in 1999-2008, so by this being said DeKalb may not have crime rates as high as Fulton County, but there could be a possibility that they may reveres each other meaning DeKalb may have…

    The Usefulness of OCS in Measuring Crime

    Deviance is not usually a crime, but may be seen as one. Deviance is when someone breaks the norms and values of a society, but the act is not illegal. Crime is where a person beaks the law of land, they either do something they shouldn’t, or they don’t do something they should. Crime and deviance can be measured with the use of Official Crime Statistic (OCS). OCS is the crimes which are reported by the victim, and then further recorded by the Police. Not all crimes are recorded by the Police, which lead to a dark figure in the overall collected OCS. To avoid dark figures there are other methods to measure crime and deviance.…

    Dark Figure In Crime Analysis Essay

    One of the biggest issues with crime analysis is the dark figure of crime. The dark figure of crime has to be taken into account because it will tamper with the data. This causes the data not to reflect crime accurately. If the criminal commits more than one crime, the UCR also only lists the most severe crime (FBI-Uniform Crime Report, 2011, para. 1). In other words, all crime data is not recorded.…

    United States: Crime or Data Aficionado

    United States: Crime or Data Aficionado

    First of all, where does this definition come from? Who believes that there is more crime in the US than in the rest of the world? In response to this question, I would have to go based on experiences and things I personally know about criminology, or the study of crime. Although it may not appear so for those people who have lived here their entire lives, but the United States is seen as having a militarized government where firearms are legal in most states and drugs are a large problem. Thus, to other countries, there is more “crime” in the United States than there is in other parts of the world. But my question lies within that thought. I question whether or not that is true or not, and whether that number has been misconstrued in order to make the United States seem like a bad place in general.…

    The two metropolitan areas I have decided to do my research paper on are Cincinnati, Ohio and Dallas, Texas. I choose Cincinnati because it is one of the bigger cities where I live. I choose Dallas because there seems to be a big difference in crime rates compared to Cincinnati. In this paper I will be comparing the burglary rate between these two cities. I will identify the number of burglaries reported to the police in each area and also explain which area had more reported burglaries as well as what were the rates of the crimes in each area. I will also explain whether the rates have changed at all and look into what factors that might be involved that might explain the difference in the burglary rates.…

    The world has become a safer place now than it was ten years ago. Do you agree?

    These days, we can walk on the streets way past midnight, and we can still return home unscathed. Crime rates have decreased significantly over the past decade and why is that so? Police departments in all around the world are more efficient and less corrupted than they were last time, and they now have greater technological abilities to track down criminals. In 2001, the United States crime rate was estimated to be 4,200 offenses per 100,000 inhabitants. In 2012, the US crime rates were at the lowest point in decades, estimated to be 3,100 offenses per 100,000 inhabitants. Yet some may point out that in other parts of the world, countries such as India, is headlining for appalling number of crimes that are rape linked and hence be deemed as unsafe, especially so for females. However, it must be known that India’s government has been giving their best in curbing the unlawful crimes by making their laws stricter. Allow them some time, in order to see the results of it, when their crime rates dip.…

    India is a democratic country ,we people of India have freedom and the basic rights and duties to follow. Freedom in India has been both a boon and a curse , a boon by making us free from the greedy British, a curse in the sense by giving the 21st century generation a lot of liberty.
