Public Safety
Crimes
Pakistan Bureau of Statist ics collects data on crime statistics in order to make policy
relevant information for future planning & programmes. Further, the crime information system aims to
enhance the public safety measures in the country. Data captured is considered only for those persons who
were brought into formal contact with police investigation. Number of crimes reported in the police stations
during the year, however, does not capture the data in respect of the number of persons involved in the
crimes, and there may be other crimes which may go unreported.
Number of registered crimes by dis tricts is provided in table 6.01 . Crime by types is given in subsequent tables. Big cities like Peshawar, Bannu and Swabi are particularly vulnerable to crime. In 2016 number of reported crimes was 133,383 which reduced to 97,794 in next year. However, from 2018 to onward it kept an increasing trend, and, in 2021 it soared to 211,865.
Crime can be classified into several categories based on their nature and severity. The four ma in categories of crime are crimes against persons, crimes against property, traffic offenses, and other crimes. Crimes against persons include offenses such as homicide, assault, and kidnapping. Crimes against property involve offenses such as theft, burgl ary, and vandalism. The category of other crimes includes offenses such as drug offenses, white -collar crimes, and public order offenses. Each of these categories has numerous subcategories that can further classify different types of crime. Murder which comes under category of crime against person is a heinous crime. It has been observed in 2021 that maximum number of murders i.e. 452 (13.98%) were reported in Peshawar district followed by Bannu with 234 (7.24%) and 2 01 (6.22%) in Swabi as far as top districts with most reported murder cases are concerned. However, these rates are not adjusted for various factors such as population size, crime reporting tendencies etc. In contrast districts with lowest reported murders are Chitral (13), B atgram (27) and Kuram (28).
