Amid the many ups and downs that marked the past decade in India, we can sometimes lose sight of the long-range view — on many key indicators, the country is doing better than ever.
Violent Crimes are Down
Incidents of violent crimes have been falling for some years across India, according to data as of 2017. The murder rate is lower than it has been in over 50 years. Though the number of reported rapes rose after the 2012 Delhi gangrape incident, that increase in reporting too has now levelled off.
Note: The numbers have been rounded off and may not add up to 100
