Crime in India
What is crime?
Crime is a part of illegal activities in human life. It is quite obvious

that the rate of crimes is increasing day by day in all societies across

the world, but we do believe that there is a lot which can be done by

both the governments and the individuals to reduce the crimes in

communities. The rise of population and complex society rises the

range of anti-social conducts that must be restricted by the

government through the military and different organizations

particularly the Police Force.


History of crime in India
To understand the history and the evolutions of Criminal Law in
India, we first need to understand Ancient India, filled with all its
beliefs, customs, and traditions. Vedic texts dictate the need to purge
evil yet there is no judicial system that seems to be set in place. The
head of the community, who would be the village elders, would decide
on how one should be punished accordingto the measure of the evil
done. The Smritis, Shruti’s even the Manu Smriti have clear
indications of the importance of punishing the wrongdoer. Further, with
the Mughal rule in India, there was a need to produce the criminal
infront of the King who was the author of all decisions and his word
was considered final.
Types of crimes
• Cognizable-Sec.2(c)

• Non-cognizable-Sec.2(1)
Cognizable crimes
A Cognizable offence or case is defined as the one which an officer
in- charge of a police station may investigate without the order of a
magistrate and effectarrest without warrant. The police have a direct
responsibility to take immediate action on the receipt of a complaint
or of credible information relatingto such crimes, visit the scene of
the crime, investigate the facts
Non- cognizabble crimes
Crimes are defined as those which cannot be investigated bypolice
without the order of a competent magistrate. Police do not initiate
investigation in non- cognizable crimes except with magisterial
permission. First Schedule of the Cr.P.C. gives the classification of
the offences of the IPC into cognizable non-cognizable categories.
IPC crimes are classified into :

• IPC Crimes against Body


• IPC Crimes under Sexual Offence
• IPC Crimes relating to Public Order
• Human Trafficking
• Crime against Children
• Crime against Women
Post colonial changes
The Indian Penal Code and the Code of Criminal Procedures have been
through regular changes through the ages to make them relevant to the
cur- rent time and culture. Jurists and philosophers have developed
various theories of criminal law.Professor KD Gaupropounds that there
are four theoriesunder which criminal law has emerged; the civil wrong
theory, the social wrong theory, the moral wrong theory the group
confliction theory. Accord ing to the famous philosopher, Henry
Maine, he states that ‘penal law of ancient society was not the
law of crime but the law of wrong’. In the be- ginning, there was no
distinction drawn between laws, there was no division such as civil law
or criminal law, any law broken was treated in the same manner.
Whether you steal a piece of ornament or if you steal a domestic animal
belonging to your neighbour, you had good the wrong done, whetherby
compensation or other prevalent forms of punishment.
Current efforts to decrease crime in India
The government has since long been trying to reduce crimes and is
taking measure to placate crimes which range from petty thievery to
major fraudsand kidnappings to homicide.
1. With advancements in the field of Criminology, we have
tools to gather scientific evidence to focus on hotspots or habitual
offenders such that

2. We can prevent or reduce violence.

3. The focus of the executives should be on preventing the conditions


that lead people to criminality which ultimately leads to the
commission of offences.This can be done through a systematic,
integrated, coordinated approach where the punitive approach
should be made the last resort.
Objective
The main objectives of the study is :To fit a suitable regression
model to explore the statistical relationship be- tween the total crime
and factors affecting crime in India and compare the observed and
predicted values for recent years.
CONCLUSION
The landscape of crime in India is a complex and multifaceted issue
that reflects broader societal challenges. This project has highlighted
that while India faces significant criminal challenges—ranging from
violent crime to corruption and cybercrime—the root causes are
deeply intertwined with socio-economic factors such as poverty,
inequality, and inadequate access to education and healthcare.

Addressing crime effectively requires a multifaceted approach.


Strengthening law enforcement agencies, ensuring fair and efficient
judicial processes, and promoting social reforms are crucial. Equally
important is the need for community engagement and awareness
programs to prevent crime and support rehabilitation.

Ultimately, reducing crime in India is not just about increasing


security but also about creating a more equitable and just society
where opportunities are accessible to all. By tackling the underlying
issues and fostering a culture of accountability and support, India can
work towards a safer and more inclusive future.
