Crime against Women

4.223 As per the figures brought out by the State Crime Records Bureau, the total reported cases
of crime against women for the year 2014 (upto September) is 10690. Inspite of greater attention of
the society towards the issue of safety and security of women, the reported cases of crime against
women have increased from 13002 in 2012 to 13738 in 2013. It is surprising that ‘cruelty by husband/
relatives’ still constitutes a major component in crime against women. As per data from National
Crime Records Bureau, Kerala is a state where ‘Rate of total cognizable Crimes’ (incidence of crime
per one lakh female population) is much higher than the national level. Even when we want women to
come out of their homes and take up employment, the insecurities within the family remains. Greater
efforts are required in this direction, to enable women to take up meaningful economic activities
outside the purview of their families.
