</ul>Intentional homicides are estimates of unlawful homicides purposely inflicted as a result of domestic disputes, interpersonal violence, violent conflicts over land resources, intergang violence over turf or control, and predatory violence and killing by armed groups. Intentional homicide does not include all intentional killing; the difference is usually in the organization of the killing. Individuals or small groups usually commit homicide, whereas killing in armed conflict is usually committed by fairly cohesive groups of up to several hundred members and is thus usually excluded.

● 7060_source_data.csv: The raw data from the source with original administrative dimensions. This dataset may have already been restructured by scraping PDFs, combining files, or pivoting tables to fit the proper tabular format used by NDAP, but the actual data values remain unchanged. ● NDAP_REPORT_7060.csv: The final standardised data using LGD geographic dimensions as seen on NPAP. ● 7060_metadata.csv: Variable-level metadata, including the following fields: ❖ VariableName: The full variable name as it appears in the data ❖ VariableCode: A unique variable code that is used as a short name for the variable during internal processing and can be used for simplicity if desired ❖ Type_Of_Variable: The classification of the column, whether it is a dimension or a variable (i.e. indicator) ❖ Unit_Of_Measure: ❖ Aggregation_Type: The default aggregation function to be used when aggregating each variable ❖ Weighing_Variable_Name: The weight assigned to each variable that is used by default when aggregating ❖ Weighing_Variable_ID: The weighting variable id corresponding to the weighing variable name ❖ Long_Description: A more descriptive definition of the variable ❖ Scaling_factor: Scaling factor from source ● 7060_KEYS.csv: The key which maps source administrative units to the standardised Local Government Directory (LGD) dimensions. This file also contains pre-calculated weights for every constituent unit mapped from the source dimensions into the LGD. You can interpret each row as describing what fraction of the source unit is mapped to a corresponding LGD unit. This file includes the following fields: ❖ src[Unit]Name: The administrative unit name as it appears in the source data. Depending on the dataset, that may include State, District, Subdistrict, Block, Village/Town, etc. ❖ [Unit]Name: The standardised administrative unit name as it appears in the LGD. Depending on the dataset, that may include State, District, Subdistrict, Block, Village/Town, etc. ❖ [Unit]Name: The standardised administrative unit code corresponding to the unit name in the LDG. ❖ Year: The year in which the data was collected or reported. Depending on the dataset, any other temporal variables may also be present (Quarter, Month, Calendar Day, etc.) ❖ Number_Of_Children: The number of LGD units associated with the mapping described by an individual row. Units from the source that have undergone a split will contain multiple children. ❖ Number_Of_Parents: The number of source units associated with the mapping described by an individual row. Units from the source that have undergone a merge will contain multiple parents. ❖ Weighing_Variables: Households, Population, Male Population, Female Population, Land Area (Total, Rural, and Urban versions of each). For each weighing variable there are the following associated fields: ■ Count: the total count of households, population, or land area mapped from the source unit to the LGD unit for that particular row (NumberOfHouseholds, TotalPopulation, LandArea). ■ Mapping_Error: the percentage error due to missing villages in the base data, meaning what fraction of the weighing variable is dropped because the microdata could not be mapped to the LGD. ■ Weighing_Ratio: the weighing ratio for that constituent match of source unit to LGD unit for each particular row. This is the fraction applied to the source data to achieve the LGD-standardised final data

Introduction

Crime statistics: Crime Statistics serve as a crucial tool for understanding and addressing criminal activities within a society. In India, the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), established in 1986, is responsible for collecting and analyzing crime data across the country. This data collection aids in identifying trends, allocating resources, and formulating policies to combat crime effectively.

In 2024, India reported a crime rate of 445.9 incidents per 100,000 people, reflecting a slight decrease of 0.56% compared to the previous year. The most prevalent crimes included theft, robbery, and assault. Notably, rape cases increased by 1.1%, and kidnappings saw a surge of 5.1%.

Regional disparities were evident, with Uttar Pradesh recording the highest per capita crime rate at 7.4, followed by Arunachal Pradesh at 5.8, and Jharkhand at 5.3. Urban areas continued to experience higher crime rates compared to rural regions.

The NCRB employs a systematic approach to crime data analysis, encompassing five key steps: collection, categorization, analysis, dissemination, and evaluation. This methodology ensures that the data is not only accurate but also actionable, facilitating informed decision-making by law enforcement agencies and policymakers.

Understanding crime statistics is essential for developing effective strategies to enhance public safety and reduce criminal activities across the nation.

These numbers don't tell the whole story, but they give us a good starting point to understand what's happening in our communities. They can be used as tools to help criminal justice professionals anticipate increased risk of crime.
