The application of GIS and graphical tool as well as some important statistics in crime mapping is the need of the hour, which is applied for the state of Rajastahn for a district level analysis of crime scenario. The study is primarily based on the Crime in Rajasthan report, 2013, published by State Crime Records Bureau, Rajasthan. The study presesnts, vulnerability of all districts of Rajsathan in terms of incidences of crime and public safety measures. Purpose is to come out with crime mapping of Rjasthan in terms of vulnerability to crimes and availability of police services, which can be useful in policy framing for reducing crime rate and increasing the efficient delivery of police services in accordance. The study also suggests a strategic shift in policing to reduce crime levels in the society. The purpose is also, to convey to citizens and tourists which districts are the safest and in which districts they have to be alert and attentive to avert any danger, for instance the eastern districts, Capital and surrounding districts are far more dangerous than the western and southern districts of the state.
