Crime in Mega Cities
The term ‘Mega City’ in context of this
chapter refers to city having population of 10
lakh (1 million) or more. List of mega city is
provided by Population Census & Registrar
General of India which is based on last
population census. The numbers of such cities
have increased from 35 in the year 2001 to 53
in the year 2011.NCRB has been collecting
data for these 53 mega cities since 2012.
Crimes are much higher in mega cities
compared to either small cities or rural areas.
High incidents of crimes in mega cities may be
due to various factors like high density of
population, greater information availability/flow,
greater degree of anonymity in big cities, social
milieu of urban slums etc. This chapter deals
with crime analysis reported in 53 mega cities.
The present analysis does not aim at
complete urban crime pattern in the country but
