The percentage given is the percentage of the total number of reported crime in that category. Of course Punjab would be the highest in all categories simply because of higher population.
It is heartening to know at least people have faith enough on police to report crime. The same report also says that it is estimated that less than 10% of the crimes are actually reported.
is it only me who thinks that in rural areas, no matter which province it is, there would be marginally reported crimes as compared to actual happenings.
And yea, was population of provinces taken into consideration before computing these %ages?

No. For example, Murder percentage is 44% for Punjab. Does it mean that 44% people in Punjab were murdered? or 44% of Punjab people are murderers?
It simply means that 44% of the total number of reported murders in Pakistan are from Punjab, a statistic that makes very little sense.
The report is also from 2014 (not 2015, as claimed in the title). The report also says:
"“The police are not winning the fight against crime but crime is simply adapting to the changing contours of the police”, the police officer said. It is a widespread belief that less than 10 percent of street crimes are reported and the police mostly avoid registering even heinous crimes so as to maintain a low crime rate, he said."
That link is summarized in tabular form. The picture is not good at all as %age shows increase in the crime rates. If you don’t agree the you calculate the proportionate crime rate what you are saying. You accept that only 10% of crimes are reported in Punjab, so actual figures are many times higher than this.
The tabular data and %age noted is province crime divided by total crime. This is meaningless as Punjab is twice the size of Sindh so offcourse total will be high. This data needs to be normalized by Populatio, Per Capita or Per Mile or some other metric. Normmalize by Population will show a much better picture in Punjab.

Please do it and let us know here how Punjab's crime position is excellent as compared to other provinces. Otherwise I take this tabular format which shows crimes in Punjab is the highest. Spending billions on toys and then maintaining it is just waste of money.
You tell us Mr. Einstein? "Main pyar PTI se karta hoon magar chahita hoon PML(N) ko" is your faith now eh!
If one's political affiliation becomes one's 'faith', they tend to disregard common sense, reasoning and rationality. This is demonstrated well in this thread.

And when one switch loyalties are termed as "Super Permanent Lotay" or the "Opportunists" without any morals. :)
Sure. I did this before as well. Let me put a table and post here.

KPK has the highest murder rate while Punjab and Islamabad (!!) lead in most other violent crime.
Islamabad may not be a fair comparison because it the only area in the list that is solely urban and urban areas usually have higher crimes rates.
Need to compare Islamabad with Karachi, Lahore etc.
Good morals dictate supporting the truth, regardless of political affiliation.
Blind following is where morals are ignored in favor of last name of one's political god.
Idiocy is believing everything positive about your supposed leader is the truth and everything negative must be a lie.
Integrity includes having the ability to change one's opinion when exposed to new information.
I was not wrong. Punjab still leads the crime rate as compared to other provinces. The point is that PML(N) particularly is not doing well as promoted by panchi pai. SS has spent billions on toys just to make Punjab public Ch. In the end such useless schemes ends up in total waste, the loss bear by other provinces particularly Sindh from which most taxes are collected utilized on such stupid projects in Punjab.
