The Violent Crimes dataset collection provides comprehensive statistical information on serious offences involving physical violence and threat to life recorded in India. Compiled from National Crime Records Bureau data, the collection covers year wise, state wise, city wise, and crime head wise counts of violent crimes registered under the Indian Penal Code. The datasets include major categories such as murder (Sec.302 IPC), culpable homicide not amounting to murder (Sec.304 IPC), attempt to commit murder (Sec.307 IPC), attempt to commit culpable homicide (Sec.308 IPC), grievous hurt (Sec.325, 326, 326A and 326B IPC), kidnapping and abduction (Sec.363–369 IPC), rape (Sec.376 IPC), attempt to commit rape (Sec.376 read with Sec.511 IPC), dowry deaths (Sec.304B IPC), infanticide (Sec.315 IPC), foeticide (Sec.316 IPC), rioting (Sec.147–151 and 153A IPC), robbery (Sec.392–394 IPC), dacoity (Sec.395–398 IPC), and arson (Sec.435–438 IPC). The collection also includes total violent crimes aggregates, enabling analysis of overall trends, regional distribution, and changes in the incidence of violent offences over time. By combining spatial granularity with offence-level classification, these datasets support research, policy analysis, law enforcement planning, and public understanding of the scale and nature of violent crime across India.
