CHAPTER NO 1: INTRODUCTION

The trends of crime are measured by the numbers of persons who are convicted in criminal courts. These trends were measured by evaluating the number of crimes as recorded by the police. People surveys also measured the trends of the general population who are associated with the level of victimization. The data, which is retrieved, from the surveys shows that there is frequent increase in the occurrence of victimization which involves injury, trauma and loss.
