After a delay of two years, the Crime in India report for 2017 has been released by the National Crime Records Bureau.

As per the report, Bangla registered the highest success in terms of children being recovered or traced in 2017. This jump in the index is largely due to the State’s improved performance in preventing human trafficking.

In 2017, 11,849 missing children below 18 years were recovered or traced in Bangla, which accounted for 16.82 per cent of all children traced (70,440) throughout the country.

In terms of crimes against women, Kolkata recorded 15 victims of rape and 53 victims of stalking in 2017, against 1,170 victims of rape and 472 victims of stalking in Delhi. As per the report, 3,59,849 cases of crimes against women were reported in the country.

Kolkata has also emerged as the safest among 19 cities (population of 20 lakh or more), including the metros, in terms of crimes committed per lakh population.

Kolkata has emerged as the safest among 19 Indian cities, including the metros, in crimes committed per lakh population, according to the latest report of the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) published recently.

The crimes per lakh people fell from 159.6 in 2016 to 141.2 in 2017, which is significantly better than the national average of 469.2 for the 19 cities with a population of 20 lakh or more.

Kolkata is the safest metro city in India for women. As a result of the various initiatives taken by the Trinamool Congress Government, women feel the safest in the city.

According to the latest report of the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), ‘Crime in India 2014,’ Kolkata is the safest city in Kolkata in terms of crimes against women.

The India Today Best City Awards 2014 also rewarded Kolkata with the award for the best city in the category of crime and safety. The award was given after a rigorous survey of 30 State capitals and metro cities and 20 emerging cities on 12 parameters.

In December 2012, Kolkata Police introduced two helplines for the benefit of women: 1091, a toll-free dial-in-service for distressed and harassed women, and 8017100100, an anti-stalking helpline (one can also send SMSs to this number). One can also call up the Kolkata Police control room at (033) 22143024. Other helplines run by Kolkata Police, meant for women as well, are 2000 and 2001 (traffic helplines), 9830088884 (senior citizen helpline) and 9830079999 (medical helpline).

The State Government has also introduced an Intelligent Transport System in buses, complete with CCTVs and a direct communication to a police control room. This has been introduced in CSTC, NBSTC and SBSTC buses to especially benefit women passengers. Any untoward activity taking place can be tracked on videos and action taken accordingly.

The West Bengal Government has adopted a ‘zero tolerance’ approach towards crime against women. As a result, incidents of crime against women are constantly on the decline.
