Kolkata is country’s safest metro to live in, yet again

加尔各答再次被评为印度最安全的城市

KOLKATA: Kolkata has gained the top spot in the list of the country’s safest cities for the year 2020, with the lowest rate of cognizable offences recorded, according to the just-released 2020 National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) crime report.

加尔各答：根据刚刚发布的2020年国家犯罪记录局(NCRB)的犯罪报告，加尔各答在2020年全国最安全城市名单中名列榜首，可认定犯罪记录的比率最低。

The Bengal capital, with a score of 129.5, comes on top of the list, which measures cognizable offences recorded per lakh people, followed by Hyderabad (233) Mumbai (318.6) and Bengaluru (401.9). The national average is 810.3.

西孟加拉首府以129.5分位居榜首，该指数衡量的是每10万人可识别的犯罪记录，其次是海德拉巴(233)、孟买(318.6)和班加罗尔(401.9)。全国平均水平为810.3。

The NCRB has compared the city with 18 others that have more than two million population. This is the third successive time that the city has been shown as the safest (with a break in 2019, when the bureau claimed that records had reached them late from the state). The city has taken the top position both in terms of IPC cases (crimes covered under the Indian Penal Code) — where it has a score of 109.9 — and cases registered under other state law (SLL crimes), where it has a score of 19.6. Kolkata has also achieved what many cities have been unable to repeat — its IPC crime rate of 2020 has fallen from 139.5 to 109.9. This is a progressive decrease, with the score at 141.2 in 2017 and 159.6 in 2016

NCRB将该市与其他18个人口超过200万的城市进行了比较。这是该城市连续第三次被评为最安全的城市(2019年出现了一次中断，当时该局声称该邦的记录姗姗来迟)。

在IPC案件(印度刑法所涵盖的犯罪)和其他州邦法律所登记的案件(SLL犯罪)中，该市都排名第一，得分为109.9分。

加尔各答还实现了许多城市无法复制的目标——2020年的IPC犯罪率从139.5降至109.9。

这是一个逐渐下降的趋势，2017年为141.2分，2016年为159.6分。

Kolkata’s crime rate has been on a downward slide for the past seven years, with the total number of cases declining from 26,161 in 2014 to 18,277 in 2020. The total number of IPC crimes has slid from 17,324 in 2019 to 15,517. The number of SLL cases saw a rise, though: from 2,314 in 2019 to 2,760 in 2020.

过去七年，加尔各答的犯罪率一直在下降，案件总数从2014年的26161起下降到2020年的18277起。IPC犯罪总数从2019年的17324起下降到15517起。然而，SLL案件数量有所上升：从2019年的2314起增至2020年的2760起。

The numbers indicate that the city has fared well in containing violent crime, registering only 53 cases of murder and 121 cases of attempt to murder, compared with the 55 and 143 cases reported in 2018.

数据显示，该市在遏制暴力犯罪方面进展良好，仅登记了53起谋杀案件和121起谋杀未遂案件，而2018年报告的案件分别为55起和143起。

In comparison, Delhi registered 461 cases of murder and 562 murder attempts, while Mumbai registered 168 murders and 348 attempts. Kolkata also saw 11 rapes, again fewer than the 14 rapes of 2018 and 15 of 2017. There were 160 cases of assaults on women and 37 of sexual harassment. In contrast, Delhi reported 942 assault cases and 322 cases of sexual harassment. Chennai, with 33 cases of assault and 10 cases of sexual assault, was the only better performer among metro cities in this measure.

相比之下，德里有461起谋杀和562起谋杀未遂案件，而孟买发生168起谋杀和348起谋杀未遂的案件。加尔各答也发生了11起强奸案，再次低于2018年的14起和2017年的15起，有160起侵犯妇女案件和37起性骚扰案件。

相比之下，德里报告了942起性侵案件和322起性骚扰案件。金奈有33起侵犯案件和10起性侵犯案件，是唯一一个在这方面表现更好的大城市。

Akash

I am from UP, western UP and here is my take on safety

All places in the world is equally safe and equally dangerous. As a person, you have to develop that sense of danger.

Everywhere, there are certain places that are risky, certain kind of people that one must avoid at any cost and so on.

我来自北方邦西部，以下是我对安全的看法：世界上所有地方都一样安全，也同样危险。作为个人，你必须培养这种危机感。不管在哪里，都有一些地方是危险的，某些人是我们必须不惜一切代价避免的。

Chennai has topped in reporting crimes reason people from northern states are pushing here and commiting crimes, secondly sure or not kolkotta report cases I strongly disagree
