Crime Victimisation and Safety Perception: A Public Survey of Delhi and Mumbai
This report represents one of the first efforts to conduct a public survey on crime victimisation and public safety perception in India. Surveying residents in both Delhi and Mumbai, the report captures their experiences of crime, both reported and unreported to the police, as well as satisfaction with the police, reasons for not reporting crime, and the public’s overall safety perception. Further, the report demonstrates how such data can be used to help the police and government identify and answer important questions about crime and safety, and allocate resources and develop partnerships with civil society and community groups to implement new and better crime prevention strategies, public engagement initiatives, and more.
