The highest crime rate (436.09 per lakh) was in Jhalakati followed by Borguna (338.60 per lakh), Brahmanbaria (321.42), Barisal (318.68 per lakh), and Dhaka (316.54), which ranked second, third, fourth and fifth respectively. This report shows that coastal and commercial areas are more crime prone. From early times Jhalakati, Borguna, and Barisal were used as the transit points of business and commerce, and navigable communication. These districts situated in the coastal areas of Bangladesh are often less or loosely supervised by the law enforcing agencies.
