Crime in Pakistan exists in many forms, particularly in the metropolis cities of Karachi, Lahore,


 Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Gujranwala, Peshawar, Multan, Hyderabad, Islamabad and Quetta[6][7][8] 

It consists of major crimes like murder, rape, kidnapping, armed robbery, burglary, 

carjacking and corruption amongst other general crimes.

For instance, in the city of Lahore, 379 murders, 500 attempted murders,

 2,650 abductions and 55 rapes have been committed in the year 2019.

A direct connection has been found between the unemployment rate and crime rate in Pakistan. 

Higher unemployment reduces the viability of legal activities, thereby increasing the scope 

of profit from illegal activities. Therefore, the chances of an increase in illegal activities increase

Crime statistics of Pakistan indicates that there is a sudden hike in the number of crime 

reported over time such as other nations of the world, primarily 

because of higher unemployment, growing poverty, inflation on the rise and urbanization. 

Other non-economic reasons are also responsible for it.

Pakistan is part of the Golden Crescent, one of the two major opium-producing regions in Asia. 

In 2005, it was estimated that opium poppy was cultivated over 800 hectares, potentially 

producing 4 metric tons of heroin. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, especially the Afghan border region, 

has historically been the epicenter of opium production in Pakistan. After 1979, there 

was an unprecedented and dramatic increase in opium production which was highly unregulated. 

Drug trafficking currently generates an estimated $4 billion in Pakistan.

Violence against women in Pakistan, specifically intimate partner violence and sexual violence, 

is a significant public health issue and a breach of women's human rights in Pakistan.

Women in Pakistan primarily face violence by being subjected to forced marriage, 

through sexual harassment in the workplace, domestic violence and by so-called honour killings.

Police misconduct and corruption

This article is based on Corruption in Pakistan.[edit]}


This article is outdated. Please update this article to include recent events 

or newly released information. (February 2024)

Corruption in Pakistan consists of corrupt practices executed by officials and institutions, 

from small bribery to big-time scandals.[20]


Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was removed from power and charged with corruption following the Panama Papers leak.

Corruption distorts decision-making in the economy, discourages investment, 

erodes competitiveness and, in the end, slows economic growth within the nation. 

The issues are rooted deep, going decades back, and despite repeated cries for reform,

 and numerous efforts at the improvement of the status quo, little can be seen towards change.

Corruption is rampant in different fields and aspects of life in Pakistan,

 but when it concerns how corruption prevails, the Pakistan Police are unrivaled. 

In surveys and reports of international organizations as well as non-governmental organizations (NGOs),

 the police force is repeatedly recognized as the most corrupt institution within Pakistan

When I asked her, “Was your husband good to you?” she gave a faint smile and said, “Did you really think so? The truth is, when something comes into your life that nobody will ever question you about — no one will ask how you treat it — you take care of it only as long as you like it. And when you’re done with it, you simply throw it away. I was never wanted. I was destined to be discarded.” Her father had abandoned her. Her mother left her at the mercy of fate.
