Here’s a safe bet to make: the crime rate in India’s big cities will fall in 2021. Every year, the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) presents data for the number of crime incidents in Indian cities.
The bureau also provides crime rates, which is the number of crime incidents per lakh of population. Giving the rate is agood idea because it allows us to compare cities with very different population sizes. The catch, however, is that NCRB does not change the population of cities between censuses that take place every 10 years.
