Q:Hey guys, my wife really wants to relocate to Kochi since it is her hometown, but I am hesitant because of the alarming crime rate and a number of child abduction cases. We have a five year old, and I don’t feel safe raising my child in such an environment. Can anyone offer any advice on this?
Latest Answer: Yeah that is true but I wouldn’t be so casual about it. Kochi actually reported an increase of 193% in crime rates in recent times. That being said, the police force is also taking extreme measures to contain crimes in this area, and I have personally seen a significant increase in police patrols in the past few months. About half these petty crimes take place in tourist spots, like Fort Kochi. If you do move here, you will have to practice caution, but It isn’t so bad that you have to lose your head about it.
