INTRODUCTION
Definition: A crime is any offence against public law. This term in general includes all offences whether they are violent or not. A violent crime is an offence in which the offender uses or threatens violent force upon victim. These crimes can be crimes with or without weapons. Relevant literature: Violent crime in Bangladesh is present in many forms including murder, rape, assault, domestic violence, and many others. Day by day, Bangladesh is getting a negative reputation as a lawless and violent place abroad. In the most recent survey of crime trends previously done by the United Nations, murder rate in Bangladesh is the most violent crime which was 2.3 per 100,000 people and it is increasing even more. The research found out that money is a big issue in Bangladesh. Most people committing these crimes are illiterate and thus unemployed and therefore needed a means to survive. And according to the criminals the money they get by murdering make their life really simple and easy. The United Nations also did researches in the rape rate in Bangladesh which was ranking just after murder in the issue of the most crime. This research found out that every 2 girls out of 100,000 are raped per year in our country. Along with rape there are other crimes against women in Bangladesh which are totally uncommon in other western parts of the world. This includes domestic violence, acid-attacks and eve-teasing. The research concluded violence against women in our country is more than any other country. According to them the main reason of such violence against women is the male domination is our country. In
