About this dataset

This Dataset provides an up-to-date analysis of crime trends in India from 2001 to the present. It contains complete information about different types of crimes such as rape, murder, and theft that were committed across India. By analyzing this dataset we can determine the areas where crimes were most prevalent, what type of offenders were usually involved in the crime and which year had the highest number of registered cases. Additionally, we can also analyse which group experienced most complaints and what kind of punishments or consequences they faced like departmental enquiries, magisterial enquiries or police personnel trials completed. This data set is perfect for further research into crime trends in India and will help us better understand why certain types of crimes take place more frequently than others

Research Ideas

• Analyzing crime trends over time by analyzing the Year, Sub_group and Area_Name columns to understand different types of crimes and patterns of criminal activity in India.

• Evaluating the effectiveness of police response to different types of crimes, such as comparing the CPA_-Cases_Registered, CPA-_Cases_Reported_for_Dept.Action and CPB-_Police_PersonnelAcquitted data fields across different time periods, sub-groups and areas to assess how well law enforcement is responding to crimes reported.

• Tracking changes in punishment awarded for different crimes by analyzing the CPC_-Police-Personnel_-Major-Punishment_-awarded data field for changes over time or from one geographical area to another
