As the article states number of crimes committed per 1 lakh population — gives a more realistic and comparative picture of law and order than a total of offences registered in a state or city. A state with a larger population can report a higher number of offences as compared to a small state. But it is the crime rate that is an index of law and order. Again, in order to have a better understanding of Law and Order, one must know about it and being a literate facilitates it. Now the question arises is 'knowing' sufficient? If more number of people are literate(i.e higher literacy rate) do they create an atmosphere of positivity i.e less crimes? Is that counts for a deduction in violent crimes(murder, attempt to murder, rape, kidnapping and dowry death)? and on the other hand if there are more illiterates and don't have any access to 'knowing' Law and Order, will there be less crimes? or say less violent crimes? Can you justify the crimes committed on account of being poor, neglected or mentally ill?( as in the Hindi movies, a poor man becomes a thief as someone has denied him food) What leads to the criminal behaviour? Can we say the rich economies where ample facilities are available to people, living of standard is high are not prone to crimes?
Some examples are really a teaser like off late, I see this news quite often in the newspapers about committing a murder on the dispute of 'water'(areas where there's a limited supply of water, people stand in queue to fill water and situation becomes critical), a son stabbed his mother to death so as to have the entire property of father or a father raped his daughter, how can you judge the degree of crimes?
Can we take it as a shock that Kerela is the most crime prone state or compare it with Delhi and Bihar and satisfy ourselves with the indexes? or shall we put all the blame on the government machinery? I read the term 'violent crimes' in the article and the crimes mentioned above in brackets and fail to understand this concept, will definitely undertake more research on 'violent' or 'non-violent' crimes. But one thing I am sure if there's a demarcation has to be made,it should be on the basis of the reason of an offence for example the property disputes or dowry deaths and the deaths due to a dacoity, or a terrorist attack.
There's a mutiny in mind which compels me to raise these questions.......,
still in search of answers for all these............
