The official crime data of metropolitan cities in India often overlook the complexities associated with the jurisdiction of police administration and urban local bodies, as well as their impact on the crime rate. For many cities, such as Jabalpur, the crime rates are often inaccurate due to jurisdiction-related issues, which may lead to over-counting of crime incidents and undercounting of crime rates. Crime researchers mostly ignore these discrepancies when quoting NCRB data to study urban crime and comparative analysis of crimes in cities. –Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/commentary/limitations-ncrb-crime-data-context-jabalpur-city.html  aEconomic & Political Weekly
