Crimes against women in India, as police and courts recorded them
This site covers every state and union territory from 2017 to 2024, and India as a whole from 2014 wherever NCRB counted a crime the same way, using the National Crime Records Bureau's Crime in India reports. It counts the cases that reached a police station and were written down there, and many crimes against women never reach a police station.
