Pakistan’s largest city Karachi – with a population of over 16 Million – is a melting pot of various ethnicities and cultures drawn from all over the country.
It is also Pakistan’s commercial hub, gate-way for imports and exports as well as the financial life-line because of two ports – the Karachi Port and Port Qasim – on the Arabian Sea. Coupled with misgovernance and corruption, these features also make it a huge attraction for the criminal gangs. It virtually serves as the ATM for the underworld. The CRSS report Karachi – The State of Crimes – is a cursory look at the criminal activity that goes on in the city, to the peril of common citizens. The report covers the crime scene in Karachi until early March 2012. (For Details See the section REPORTS on the home page)
