Despite few death penalty cases and limited law and order, Indian cities are still safer than US cities. Explain that! New York city is one of the safest big cities in United States with a homicide rate 2 times that of Delhi. Washington DC the capital of USA has 8 times the homicide rate of Delhi the capital region of India. blogs.wsj.com this for US cites: en.wikipedia.org >The murder rate in Delhi is 2.7 per 100,000 residents, which put it well behind the much smaller Patna, the capital of Bihar, which has a murder rate of 6.5. That makes the latter city roughly the equivalent of Budapest, Hungary, which has a similar murder rate and population. Of course, both cities are substantially safer than the U.S. city of Philadelphia, which has a similar population to both cities, but a murder rate three times higher.> Minneapolis, Minnesota (113 rapes annually per 100,000) has 50 times the reported rape rate in comparison to Delhi , and 400 times the rate of Calcutta. Agreed that a lot of rape cases will not be reported in Delhi, but so is the case anywhere. >In 2011, 2.8 rapes were registered in Delhi for every 100,000 residents, while the rate for Bangalore was 1.1, for Chennai 0.9, for Kolkata 0.3, and for Mumbai 1.2. But it’s Chhattisgarh’s Durg-Bhilainagar that is India’s “rape capital,” with 5.7 rapes per 100,000 residents, followed by Bhopal.>
