About
The data covers extensive information about numerous crime types that took place in India from 2001 to 2019. It allows for deep understanding of how crime patterns evolve over time and helps identify multiple factors influencing these trends. The collection addresses specific aspects of crime against women, police complaints, juvenile involvement, violent crime trials, and related areas such as auto-theft tracing and court proceedings.
Columns
The product is delivered across multiple structured files (e.g., CSVs) that detail specific subsets of crime data, including:
- Geographic and Temporal Identifiers: Area_Name (location), STATE/UT, DISTRICT, and Year (time period).
- Crime Classification: Sub_group, Group_Name, CRIME, CRIME HEAD (specifying offence types like Murder, Rape, Dowry Deaths, Cruelty By Husband Or His Relatives, Auto Theft, etc.).
- Case Metrics (Police/Judicial Action): Includes counts for Cases Registered, Cases Reported for Dept. Action, Complaints Received/Alleged, Departmental Enquiries, Cases Sent for Trials/Charge-sheeted, Persons Arrested, Persons Convicted, and Persons Acquitted.
- Juvenile Metrics: Counts of Boys and Girls involved in crime across specific age brackets (7-12, 12-16, 16-18).
- Victim/Offender Relationship: Number of cases where offenders were known to the victims, relatives, neighbours, or close family members.
- Police Personnel Metrics: Details concerning police personnel acquitted, convicted, sent up for trial, and casualties (injured or killed) while on duty due to criminals, riotous mobs, or extremist operations.
Distribution
Data files are typically provided in CSV format. A sample file detailing district-wise IPC crimes from 2001 to 2012 has 34 columns and contains 9,017 valid records. The data fields are predominantly Integer (for counts and years) or String (for names and descriptions). Statistics provided include metrics for crimes like MURDER (Mean 89.3), RAPE (Mean 53), and TOTAL IPC CRIMES (Mean 5.31k). The indices, state/UTs, districts, and years are fully validated with no missing records in the sample analysis.
Usage
This data is suitable for governmental entities seeking to initiate programs to mitigate criminal behaviour and for researchers focusing on social impact studies in areas with elevated crime rates. It can be used to track regional crime issues and hotspots by analysing trends over time across different states or cities. Furthermore, it supports studies comparing police performance and the effectiveness of action taken against specific offences. It offers unparalleled insight into the distribution and occurrence of crime across India.
