Crime is a social menace which stands in alarming level in our North Eastern states especially against women. Some of such crimes mentioned may be rape, murder, molestation, extortion, kidnapping, burglary, theft, dacoity, robbery, cheating, trafficking. Here, in this study an attempt is made to understand the crime scenario of various crimes occurred in between 2017-2020 in Northeastern region of India. The state of Assam has found to be ranked highest in numbers of rape, child crime (incidence and victim), murder, human trafficking and kidnapping and abduction cases among other northeastern states of India during the period 2017-2020. Further from the study is observed that among all the crime categories kidnapping and abduction was highest (33189) in the respective period.
