An Analysis Of Crime Against Women In Ajmer City (Rajasthan) Using Geographical Information System

Crimes against women remain a pressing concern in India, with Rajasthan witnessing significant variations in the incidence and nature of such offenses across its vast geographical expanse. This research paper employs Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques to systematically analyze spatial patterns and underlying factors contributing to crimes against women in Rajasthan. Drawing on data collected from multiple police stations across the state, the study aims to identify hotspots and cold spots of criminal activity, thereby revealing the geographical distribution and intensity of these crimes. Through this spatial analysis, the study seeks to provide actionable insights for policymakers, law enforcement agencies, and social organizations working towards the safety and empowerment of women in Rajasthan. The findings underscore the importance of targeted interventions in high-risk areas and the need for community-based strategies tailored to local contexts. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between geography and gender-based violence, advocating for data-driven approaches to crime prevention and social justice.
