Analyzing The Crime Patterns In Coastal Area (Coast Guard & Coxs Bazaar Perspective) On above discussion now we are in the platform to generalize the crime patterns in this two aspects. I proceed on following way- Due to the environmental factors smuggling is the most super acid crime in this coastal area.Narcotics crime, wome n repression, Smuggling ,Theft, Illegal Arms offences ,Murder causes threat on police activity, especially on Coxs Bazaar. Abduction ,Robbery, Dacoit isnt so frequent criminal feature of crime in this sea level coastal areas. Drug crimes are expanding due to downpour illicit interest for taking drug. Sea (costal) areas are the potential get-way for smuggling, trafficking, illegal Rohinga trespassing etc. Property related conflict / crime is rare to be seen. The ratio surrounded by law enforcement personal and public is very poor.So all forms of crime mainly smuggling, criminal & narcotics trespassing, drug crimes, violent crimes is trend to be high day by day.

Comparison of the crime pattern of coastal and hill area through Analysis On the base of critical assessment of coastal (Chittagong & Coxs Bazaar) and mountainous area (Bandorban) now we note as follows- The crime trend on hilly areas is lower than coastal area. Most prominent crime in coastal areas is smuggling.On the other hand, at hilly area we found abduction & murder are the most affected Crime. The hilly people commit bewitching alcohol related crime, sometimes we see property conflict between hilly people & Bengali People but this feature is lacking(p) at Coxs Bazaar. Roninga issue is common problem in both Coxs Bazaar and Bandorban. Due to the communication blockage law enforcement personal have serve more hardship in Bandorban than Coxs Bazaar. Theres no existence of crime committed by Santi Bahini at Coxs Bazaar but the criminal activities are done in the name of this Santi Bahini at Bandorban.Overall, mountainous people are more peaceful than Bengali people of coastal area. Limitations Of The Study Though the visit in these coastal & hilly areas helped us very much to gain empirical and practical knowledge in the field of investigation but to visit it we have faced some problems . The main limitation were- ? We didnt get enough time on staying for collecting data at a one place. ?We collect all these information from representative administrative side, weve no scope to verify our findings at field level. Sometimes police representative personal seems like pay unwillingness in answering some fundamental issues. Conclusion On visiting both these region we become enriched with the knowledges that we didnt have before. This empirical and practical knowledges helps us to analyzes the distinct patterns of crime aspects in academic studies.
