domestic violence against women in India, its causes and
consequences.
Violence against women is now widely recognized as an
important public health problem, owing to its health
consequences. Violence against women among many Indian
communities on a regularly basis goes unreported. The
objective of this study is to report the prevalence and other
related issues of various forms of domestic violence against
women from “India”.

10. Data and Methodology
The Report presents a state level comparison of existing situation
regarding Violence against women using indices.
The secondary data for the reported incidents for various forms of
violence against women prevalent in India (29 states & 7 UT) have been
obtained through National Crime Records Bureau(NCRB).
Calculationof crime rate:
Crime Rate for various states and UT’s is calculated as crime committed
against women per lakh female population. The following formula has
been used for calculating crime rate for this study:
Total crime incidences committed against women × 100000
Total female population of that state

11. Standardization of Data:
The cases of violence against women per lakh female population
have been calculated for various forms of violence for each state and UT
separately. The data is then standardized in the range of 1-100 for each
state and UT separately. This is important when dealing with parameters
of different units and scales. Because for comparison, all parameters
should have the same scale and units. Standardization of data scales all
numeric variables in the range [0,1]. The formula that has been used to
standardize the data for violence against women is given as:
Xnew = (Xij – Xmax)/ (Xmax – Xmin)
where Xij = crime rate of a particular crime for a particular state of,
Xmax is the maximum rate of crime for a particular crime and Xmin is
minimum crime rate for a particular crime.

12. Calculation of Index Number:
The index number for each state for various forms of crimes prevalent
against women is calculated by adding the standardized values of various
crimes committed against women for each state & UT separately and the value
so obtained is the index number for violence against women of that particular
state. The state possessing the maximum value of index number is the state
having least rate of violence against Women and the one with minimum index
number is the state where violent against women is most prevalent.
Ranking of States:
The states have been ranked on the basis of index number obtained for
each state. The state with maximum index number is ranked as first which
implies that minimum cases of violence against women in that state have been
reported in that particular year and vice-versa.

16. RECOMMENDATION
Domestic violence against women shows that there is only
theoretical constitutional equality for men and women but in
practice women are not considered as equal as men in the
patriarchal form of society like India.
Legal provisions against perpetrators of domestic violence are
strictly enforced so that no one can leave without punishment.
The central and state government should develop, enlarge and
strengthen social support service programs for that women who
are victims of domestic violence.
Thus educating the women and make them economic independent
should be encouraged as it may be deterrent to domestic violence.
