Question

essay on what makes Delhi vulnerable to crime

Answer 1

I will mention some points.  Perhaps it is not specific about New Delhi. These apply to other towns as well.

1. It is possible that girls/women take too much liberty in the town.  So the criminals  find them luring and commit crimes against them.

2. New Delhi is a rich city with wealthy people.  So criminals find that more beneficial.  Thus killings, robberies, and thefts are common.

3. Criminals of New Delhi are probably rich, intelligent and powerful.  They may have many contacts.

4.  Being the political activity center, there are many factionists there perhaps.  Perhaps many rivalries exist among people of different parties.

5.  People may want to earn too much much too quickly, as the city is expensive and entertainment is expensive.  Entertainment, sex, clubs, drinks, sports probably drive youth more than anything else.

6. New Delhi has a lot of advanced technology. So criminals have a lot of information, and probably they utilize latest gadgets, vehicles, facilities, communication etc.

7.  New Delhi is the capital of India.  So any foreign country or other social enemies want to create unrest in India, and fear among the leaders, will encourage to increase crimes there.  Perhaps they contribute to the crimes and even terrorism too.

8.  There are people of different religions and cultures in New Delhi.  Perhaps sometimes there are some clashes and they commit crimes against the other groups.

9.  Perhaps it is easier to hide there, in many slum areas or minority group residential areas.

10. There may be an easier access to weapons and drugs there.  

11.  Youth are not properly bound to their families and relationships.  The are probably drawn towards wrong culture and have wrong aims in life.

12.  There is a culture of grabbing other's property and looting in New Delhi.  This comes from centuries of rulers, kingdoms, invasions.

13.  New Delhi is a large city.  There are hundreds of localities around where people could be planning a lot of things.  As it appears, in the world, such cities are prone to crime.  Mumbai is also similar.

14.  Probably there are a lot of rich people who employ poor workers at their places.  It is possible that the poor get into crimes for selfish means for quick gains.
