Abstract
Crime rates are growing consistently in Bangladesh. This study shows consistently increasing crime rates in theft, drug-related offenses, domestic violence and juvenile. Theft and drug-related crimes are increasing because of socio-economic influences like poverty, unemployment and lack of education. Similarly, domestic violence cases have steadily increased, which may reflect both an actual rise in incidents and improved reporting mechanisms due to growing awareness and legal protections for women and children. Juvenile crime is rising too. This study aims to find the role of socio-economic and systemic factors in these crimes and find the impact of awareness campaigns on crime reporting. The approach followed will be a mixed-methods analysis of the crime data from DMP and BBS using various statistical techniques. Qualitative data shall be collected through interviews and focus groups with law enforcement, social workers, and victims. This mixed-method approach will identify socio-economic factors affecting crime and reporting. This study calls for an integrated approach encompassing enforcement, socio-economic reforms, and community-based initiatives as the key to a safer urban environment in Bangladesh.
