Abstract: Among the cities in Kerala, Kozhikode (Calicut) has the highest crime record followed by Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum). The Kerala State Economic Review (2008) showed that atrocities against women have increased in Kerala by a whopping 338.40 percent since 1992. The two cities taken for the study are Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum) 8 and Kozhikode (Calicut). The sample population belonging to diverse categories like students, workers, home makers, unorganized workers, commuters, drivers, conductors etc. is spread across public places such as road sides, bus stops, markets, beaches, buses, hospital compounds, hangouts, knowledge centres and theatres.
