Abstract

This research aims to explore the multifaceted phenomenon of homicide in India, focusing on the intricate interplay of social, cultural, and economic factors that contribute to violent crime. By analyzing data from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) and existing literature, the study seeks to identify key patterns and trends in homicide, particularly concerning gender-related violence and familial relationships. The research will also examine the role of media in shaping public perceptions of murder cases and the implications for policy formulation. Ultimately, this study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the systemic issues underlying homicide in India, offering insights for effective interventions and strategies to reduce violence within communities.
