The National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) has released the 'Crime in India 2024' report, indicating a general decline in total recorded offenses across the country.

國家犯罪記錄局 (NCRB) 已發布《2024年印度犯罪》報告，指出全國記錄在案的總犯罪件數普遍下降。

National statistical data reveals a 5.7% reduction in total crimes, descending from 6.24 million in 2023 to 5.89 million in 2024. This trend is primarily attributed to a decrease in offenses under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the newly implemented Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), as well as a reduction in Special and Local Laws (SLL) violations. Notably, crimes against the human body, property offenses, and specific SLL categories—including narcotics and environmental laws—demonstrated downward trajectories. Conversely, cybercrime continued to expand, albeit at a decelerated rate of 17% compared to previous years. Institutional efficiency remained stagnant, with chargesheeting and conviction rates exhibiting minimal variance from 2023 levels.

全國統計數據顯示，總犯罪件數減少了 5.7%，從 2023 年的 624 萬件下降至 2024 年的 589 萬件。此趨勢主要歸因於《印度刑法》(IPC) 和新實施的《印度法典》(BNS) 項下的罪行減少，以及特別與地方法律 (SLL) 違法案件的降低。值得注意的是，針對人身的犯罪、財產犯罪以及特定的 SLL 類別（包括麻醉品和環境法）均呈現下降趨勢。相反，網路犯罪繼續擴大，儘管增速較前幾年放緩至 17%。機構效率則停滯不前，起訴率和定罪率與 2023 年水平相比變動極小。

Regional disparities are pronounced, particularly within metropolitan centers. Delhi continues to exhibit the highest volume of violent crimes among 19 major cities, leading in categories such as murder, rape, and kidnapping. Despite a 15% reduction in registered cases, the capital's concentration of theft remains disproportionately high, accounting for 73.3% of all urban theft cases. Furthermore, the introduction of BNS has enabled the categorization of 'organized crime' and 'petty organized crime,' with Delhi recording the highest incidence of the former. In contrast, Chandigarh has experienced an escalation in its crime rate, surpassing the national average and recording a rape rate (16.6) that exceeds that of Delhi (10.3), a phenomenon the Chandigarh police attribute to a more rigorous registration of First Information Reports (FIRs).

區域差異顯著，尤其是在大都市中心。在 19 個主要城市中，德里在暴力犯罪量上依然最高，在謀殺、強姦和綁架等類別中居首。儘管登記案件減少了 15%，但首都的盜竊案集中度仍然過高，佔所有城市盜竊案的 73.3%。此外，BNS 的引入使「有組織犯罪」和「輕微有組織犯罪」得以分類，德里在前者類別中的發生率最高。相比之下，錢德加爾的犯罪率有所上升，超過全國平均水平，其強姦率 (16.6) 高於德里 (10.3)，錢德加爾警方將此現象歸因於更嚴格地登記初步信息報告 (FIR)。

Specific vulnerabilities regarding minors are evident in state-level data. Haryana recorded the highest crime rate against children among Indian states, with 82.8 cases per lakh population. The state's judicial outcomes for these offenses are characterized by a low conviction rate of 28.7%. In Delhi, the volume of missing children increased significantly, a trend attributed by civil society representatives to systemic failures in childcare support for migrant laborers and a perceived policing bias that misclassifies missing girls as elopements.

州級數據顯示未成年人面臨的特定脆弱性。在印度各邦中，哈里亞納邦的兒童犯罪率最高，每 10 萬人口中有 82.8 宗案件。該邦針對此類罪行的司法結果特點是定罪率低，僅為 28.7%。在德里，失蹤兒童數量顯著增加，公民社會代表將此趨勢歸因於對移工子女保育支援的系統性失效，以及警方被認為存在偏見，將失蹤女孩誤分類為私奔。

Recent operational data highlights the persistence of violent crime and organized syndicates. In Pune and Hardoi, the police conducted investigations into the sexual assault and murder of minors, the latter resulting in a fatal encounter with a habitual offender. In Chandigarh, the operation cell dismantled a gang network with alleged links to a Pakistani national, recovering semi-automatic weaponry. Additionally, localized violence in Punjab and Haryana continues, ranging from fatal monetary disputes to targeted assaults on students.

近期行動數據凸顯了暴力犯罪和有組織犯罪集團的持續存在。在浦那和哈爾多伊，警方對未成年人性侵與謀殺案進行調查，後者導致一名慣犯在交火中死亡。在錢德加爾，行動組瓦解了一個涉嫌與巴基斯坦國民有關的幫派網絡，並沒收半自動武器。此外，旁遮普邦和哈里亞納邦的局部暴力事件持續，範圍從致命的金錢糾紛到針對學生的襲擊。

While national crime aggregates have declined, urban centers and specific demographics remain subject to high rates of violent and organized crime.

雖然全國犯罪總量有所下降，但城市中心和特定族群仍面臨高比率的暴力與有組織犯罪。
