Choosing a safe city to live in is not just about personal comfort or vibes it’s about ensuring a safe environment for families and individuals. The National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) is vital in maintaining and publishing crime statistics across India. It acts as a foundation for curating effective safety policies, guiding law enforcement, and ensuring citizens" well-being.

NCRB’s methodology and data collection

The NCRB collects and analyses crime data in India and monitors offences under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Special and Local Laws (SLL).

As per the International Standard, NCRB follows the ‘Principal Offence Rule,’ where only the most severe (cognisable) crime in a reported incident is recorded for statistical purposes. The 2022 report relied on population estimates from the 2011 census to evaluate crime rates affecting women, children, senior citizens, and backward communities.
