Rajasthan has witnessed a rise in various types of crime over recent years, including theft, robbery, domestic violence, and even organized crime. While major cities such as Jaipur and Jodhpur tend to report the highest number of incidents, rural areas are not far behind in terms of rising crime rates. The state has also experienced an increase in violent crimes, including assaults, murders, and rapes, some of which have garnered significant media attention. However, property-related crimes like theft and burglary continue to be among the most frequently reported offenses.
To combat this surge in crime, the Rajasthan Police have been focusing on crime prevention strategies, including increased patrolling in high-crime areas and improved surveillance. The state has also seen an increase in the use of technology, such as CCTV and digital crime reporting systems, to monitor criminal activity. While these efforts have had some positive effects, ongoing issues such as slow legal processes and under-resourced police stations remain hurdles to effectively reducing crime in the state.
