Published By: CDE on eSS | Published Date: May, 04 , 2012

Crimes against the historically marginalized Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (SC/ST) by the upper castes in India represent an extreme form of prejudice and discrimination. In this paper, the effect of changes in relative material standards of living between the SC/ST and upper castes are investigated, as measured by consumption expenditures, on changes in the incidence of crimes against SC/ST.
