Hello to the New Year

I work in an unsafe city.

Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore account for almost 34 percent of all crimes in 35 major cities country, says a new police report

Uh, huh. A special allowance to be included in the CTC of all women employees in these cities?

The report reveals a new trend: young people in the country are taking to crime.

Damn these young people. I always knew that some younger man shall be my death.

A bit of good news in the report is that though the total number of cimes in India increased by 1.5 percent in 2006, the crime rate (number of crimes per one lakh population) declined by 0.02 percent.

Duh! That would mean what? The population is growing more rapidly than the number of "young" people taking up crimes? Can someone explain the maths?

Full report here.
