Crimes are the major social problem of a society and need proper
attention, since the increase of crime in a society adds to the
economic social and psychological sufferings of the masses.
Government of Pakistan set up the military operation (zarb-i-azab)
on 15 June, 2014, in North Waziristan Agency, targeting non state
armed elements. The operations caused large scale displacements,
one of the largest and fastest displacement take place anywhere in
the world in recent years. The IDP’s affected not only the socioeconomic condition of the host communities, but also cause an
increase in criminal activities. The present study is aimed to
evaluate the impact of internally displaced people on the increase of
crime rate in township Police station, district Bannu.
The reported crimes data from Township police station was
collected for 2010 and 2015 representing the before and after IDP’s
crime rate respectively. The collected data was analyzed with a
predetermined objective of evaluating the impact of IDP’s on the
increase of crime in the study area. The analysis was carried out in
crime analyst extension of ARC Map 10.2.1 software. The crime
data was analyzed Geo-spatially as well as for hot spot
identification. The analysis reveals that almost all the reported
crimes record an increase after the inflow of IDP’s. However, some
of the crime records an overwhelming increase, for instance cases
of aerial firing increased from 14 in 2010 to 144 in 2015, drug
related crimes increased from14 to 74 and rent disputes increased
from none in 2010 to 96 in 2015. The hotspot analysis reveals 3
hotspots located in the vicinity of IDP’s camps, which further
