CRIME, CRIME EVERYWHERE


According to crime statistics of Kerala Police, the number of crimes under different heads committed in Kerala for the past six years are shown below.
Murder
2016 - 305, 2017 - 305, 2018 - 292,
2019 - 323, 2020 - 306, 2021 (upto
December) - 337

Attempt to commit murder
2016 - 622, 2017 - 583, 2018 - 672,
2019 - 729, 2020 - 610, 2021 (upto
December) - 606

Rape
2016 - 1656, 2017 - 2003,
2018 - 2005, 2019 - 2023,
2020 - 1880, 2021 (upto December) 2318

Kidnapping & Abduction
2016 - 241, 2017 - 293, 2018 - 297,
2019 - 386, 2020 - 307, 2021 (upto
December) - 358

The figures shown above are really serious in a state like Kerala. The output of the highly literate state is crime in such density! The situation warrants adequate steps by the entire law and order machinery to bring peace into the state. If women is not safe in our state, there is certainly something seriously wrong in our educational system. We must immediately look for a revamping our educational structure as a whole. Parallel to this we must take adequate measures to eliminate corruption from the society as corruption is the major contributor for commuting crime.

All Sociologists, Educationalists, Religious leaders, Political leaders and Judiciary may sit together and find ways and means to make Kerala a crime free state.
