Abstract
The
presence of crime in society today is a multifaceted problem. It is the result
of many factors and no attempt will be made here to explain all crime. Crime is
the violation of the rules and regulations enforced by the society from time to
time for which definite punishment is set by law. It is an inherent part of
every society irrespective of their level of development, geographical location
etc. But the magnitude and the nature of crime vary across time, space. Social
crime is a deviated behaviour and to a large extent tradition, culture of the
society has bearing on this. Such as the nature of crime against women is
somehow determined by the patriarchy which put women as a subordinate to men
like a weak, private commodity. In the present discussion we would like to
focuses on the present nature of crime against women in Delhi and would like to
explore the possibilities of reducing this by introducing the geospatial
technology. Since the integration of geospatial and surveillance technologies
has the capability of quick decision making, we’ll discuss here the
opportunities of whether we can have any Geospatial solution of social crime or
not?
