crime rate of Bangladesh
What is the crime rate in Dhaka Bangladesh?
Dhaka's been dealing with its fair share of crime waves. We're talking about a hefty 33,513 cases reported in 2023 alone. That's a whole lot of snatching, extortion, and robbery going down. Plus, there's the not-so-friendly neighborhood of organized crime, throwing in some drug trafficking and human trafficking into the mix.
When it comes to violent crimes, Dhaka's holding its ground with a moderate rate. In 2023, we saw 1,038 cases of homicide, 2,467 cases of assault, 1,021 cases of rape, and 1,316 cases of robbery. The homicide rate, though, is slightly lower than the global average. We're talking 6.5 per 100,000 population, compared to the global 6.7.
