The study revealed the crime patterns and the perceptions of inhabitants about crime in the locality. The northern part of Dhaka consists the area under the jurisdiction of Savar, Ashulia and Dhamrai police stations.

On the other hand, crimes such as theft, mugging, drug abuse, drug related violence, domestic violence, murder, decoity (robbery), child and woman trafficking, acid violence, extortion, abduction and cattle theft are not place independent. Drugs, unemployment, lack of concern, poverty, political influence, lack of education & moral, police not performing responsibility and outsiders are considered as the main reasons behind the crimes. Increasing patrol & strengthening security, drugs control, action against corruption, police to do work properly, neutrality & prompt action by police, increasing police force, reducing political interfere, reducing distance with people and improvement of communication system in certain areas are the main suggestions as remedy for such crimes.
