Uttar Pradesh shows declines in multiple violent-crime indicators over 2022–2024, using National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data reported across five categories. The state records lower figures than the national trend in categories including murder, rape, kidnapping, rioting, and attempt to murder. The reported movement includes improvements in murder and attempt-to-murder figures, although attempt to murder is described as one of the weaker areas of decline within the state. On rape, the data is presented as showing a more complex pattern: even as figures change, reporting indicates that offenders are often known to victims.
Across sources, the NCRB-based comparison is the basis for concluding that Uttar Pradesh’s year-on-year changes in these categories are stronger than the overall national direction. The summaries also note that while the figures can be used by the government to support its policing narrative, broader public perceptions of safety remain a separate issue that may not directly track changes in recorded crime categories.
