Figures about places, not people.
Crime, safety, education and population data for states and districts, pulled from the Open Government Data platform. These describe a geography, never a legislator. There is no join in this database from a crime figure to a member, and the API refuses to return one.
Total cognizable crimes reported
Cases registered under the Indian Penal Code together with cases under Special and Local Laws, which is the widest definition of recorded crime the NCRB publishes. Published by National Crime Records Bureau, 2016 to 2020.

Defined but not yet loaded
28 seriesThese series are defined with their unit, direction and caveat, so the interface is ready for them. They are empty because the source resource has not been imported yet, not because the figure is zero. District and city figures in particular are published unevenly by year, and where only a state figure exists this database stores only a state figure.
How these figures reach a seat page.
A constituency is not a district, so the overlap has to be stated rather than assumed.
Most parliamentary seats span several districts and most districts contain several assembly seats. Where a district figure is shown on a seat page, the districts it covers are named and the overlap is stated. Where only a state figure exists, the page says state rather than dividing a state number across districts.
Every rate here uses a 2011 Census denominator, because the 2021 Census has not been conducted. Rates for fast-growing districts are therefore overstated, and that is a limit of the source rather than a choice made here. Where a publisher gives both a count and a rate, both are stored so the rate can be recomputed and checked.
