When crime numbers hide more than they reveal
Delhi is the country's crime capital with 1508.9 IPC cases per lakh population, while Jharkhand reports the fewest. However, Jharkhand's murder rate is significantly higher than Delhi's and Kerala's, suggesting widespread under-reporting of other crimes. This disparity highlights better policing and rigorous crime reporting in states like Delhi and Kerala.
