In a span a four years, crimes against children up by 200%, reveals study.

Chennai: Over the years, there has been a marked increase in cases of crimes against children in the state, with the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data revealing a 190.6 per cent increase in crimes against children from 2010 to 2014, according to an analysis of the data released recently.

One statistic that stands out is the child murders, which have increased from 73 in 2010 to 103 in 2014, an increase of 41.1 per cent, which gives the state the dubious distinction of having the fourth highest number of child murders, behind Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh.

According to activists, the increase in numbers could be due to various reasons. According to Girija Kumarababu, joint secretary, Indian Council for Child Welfare and Child Rights, the rise in child murders could be because of the increasing incidence of caste-based violence. “Newspapers report a number of cases where children under the age of 18 fall in love with people from other castes, often leading to the murder of one, or both of them,” she said, adding that child murders need to be studied in detail.
