Final Year Project
Project Title
Do Displacements After Disasters Lead to an Increase in Crime Rates: A Case Study of Karachi
Description
Natural disasters have occurred multiple times in Pakistan, resulting in the displacement of large numbers of residents to other cities, including Karachi. A diverse city in terms of language, ethnicity, and religion, Karachi also faces resource scarcity. This paper uses a time series analysis approach from 2011 to 2022 to study the causal impact of internally displaced people (IDP) on the crime rate in Karachi. Media speculation suggests that such large-scale population displacements can lead to increased crime in recipient communities like Karachi. The data presented in this paper shows a persistent rise in overall crime in Karachi, but it does not coincide with the occurrence of a disaster. Therefore, it can be concluded that the disaster-related diaspora did not result in a dramatic increase in crime in Karachi.
