CRIME RATE IN INDIA
Crime is the intentional or unintentional commission of a crime usually deemed to be
socially harmful or dangerous, prohibited, and punishable under criminal law. It is an
offense that merits community condemnation and punishment, usually by way of fine or
imprisonment. This is different from a civil wrong (a tort), which is an action against an
individual that requires compensation or restitution. Crime rate is in fact the number of
crimes that are committed during a particular period of time at a particular place.
