According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) report for 2024, Delhi has the highest number of crimes against women and senior citizens among India's metropolitan cities. The report highlights that 13,396 cases of crimes against women were recorded, making up more than a quarter of all such cases in metro areas. Additionally, Delhi reported 1,267 crimes against senior citizens, which accounts for over 30% of the total in metro cities. The city also topped the list for thefts, with 1,80,973 cases, representing nearly 30% of all thefts reported across the country. Notably, juvenile crime rates in Delhi surged to 41.6%, far exceeding the national average of 7.9%. Despite a 15% overall decrease in crime cases compared to 2023, with 2,75,402 cases registered, Delhi remains a focal point for various criminal activities. The report indicates that 1,058 rape cases were registered in Delhi, the highest among all metros, although many were found to lack sufficient evidence. The police attribute the high crime rates partly to the rapid registration of cases and the prevalence of false complaints. Furthermore, kidnapping and abduction cases also peaked at 5,580, while murder cases saw a slight decline to 504. Cybercrime cases decreased to 404, remaining significantly lower than the national average.
