Assumptions / Notes:
- Annual Population: Census data of 2001 and 2011 was used to calculate the average annual growth rate. Assuming this "average" as "uniform" growth rate for all states, population of each state is calculated for each year in 2001-14.
- Axis labels are equally spaced. In some cases, rounding of numbers may yield labels that may appear wrong.
- Divison of state complicates working of such analysis. This has prevented me from going earlier than 2000.
Data Source:
- Indian crime data:
Murder data at Data.gov,
Rape data at Data.gov,
NCRB annual reports
- International crime data: NationMaster
