National Crime Records Bureau report that most of the crime is originated from UP and MP even in the year 2011

There are total of 3,72,926 jail inmates as on 31^st December, 2011.  Not all are confirmed convicts.  There are only little over one-third are declared convicts.  Only 2020 convicts are from foreign lands.  Over 96% are males.  And the rest of jail inmates mostly are under trials. Thus, quite a good number of the jail inmates wait in jails for hearing their final verdict from judicial system in India and may be for a long time.   Some of these inmates may have to wait in jails for more than what our law envisages the punishment for their committed crimes or even for not having committed any crime.  Most of these unfortunates are males (96%).  Maximum number of inmates from UP (82,383) and the convicts also are maximum (28,051) from the same state.  Madhya Pradesh is the next state with 32,916 inmates and 15,956 convicts.  Under trials are much more from UP. The convicts as well as under trials from various states are mostly for crime: Murder.  UP account for about 22% of total convicts, whereas MP has the contribution of over 12% i.e. one third of total number of convicts from these two states of India.  Law and order problem will be addressed in India quite effectively if we happen to put this in place in these two states.  Most of these convicts are either illiterate (37,912 out of 1,28,592) or education below class X (57,098).  Under trial inmates (2,41,200) also comprise of 74,203 illiterates and 1,02,852 having education below class X.  Education may be answer to control the law and order problem.  At least in jails, one may try to increase the educational level of the jail inmates if not the entire population in UP and MP.
