In the present times, the nations facing such problems are incurring huge public expenditure on maintaining defence and internal security. The present article is an attempt to examine the intensity of crime under various categories (IPC, SLL & Violent Crimes) and to develop a comparative study among crime and police expenditure in different states of India over a period of analysis (2000-2012) using Karl Pearson's coefficient of correlation. In India Police expenditure had a very high correlation with IPC crimes (to the extent of 0.940), whereas low correlation with Special and Local Laws (SLL) crimes (to the extent of 0.267) and negative correlation with violent crimes (to the extent of - 0.225). The expenditure on police forces in India had been appropriately allocated among various standard heads of expenditure (SOE) as for the most part it is successful in controlling violent crime of heinous nature, which should be of highest priority of any police force. - Reproduced.
