NCRB data for 2017: Criminal delay
The HinduThe two-year delay in the release of crime statistics for 2017 by the National Crime Records Bureau has led to speculation that it was a deliberate ploy by the government to manage the perception of crime and security in India. In the NCRB’s “Crime in India 2016” report, Sudhir Pratap Singh, Director General of the Bureau of Police Research and Development, said that the agency would be collecting data in new categories: “I am happy to know that NCRB has once again started consultation process with all stakeholders to improve the quality and content of the report. Even as it left out certain data, the NCRB created new categories such as crimes by “anti-national elements”. Crimes against Dalits Countrywide, 43,203 cases of atrocities against Dalits were reported in 2017, a rise of about 6 per cent from the previous year. Crimes against women rose 6 per cent in 2017 from 2016, with Uttar Pradesh recording the highest number of cases.
