AIDS and crime rates are often treated in isolation from each other. This study, indicates whether HIV prevalence could influence crime rates, employs an interdisciplinary model of crime to fit the complex socio-demographic context, it is evidently proved that HIV prevalence is positively correlated with some types of monetary/property-related crimes. This study also assesses some of the behavioral mechanisms that could drive this positive relationship between AIDS and crime. It is assumed that those infected with HIV are also more likely to engage in other risky behaviors such as illegal drug use, trafficking and other illegal activities because their reduced life expectancy leads them to discount the future. Evidence shows that HIV/AIDS crowding-out police/law enforcement expenditure in favor of other government agency spending for the study period.Keywords

The study sheds light on the effect of drug on HIV infection which is highly correlated with injecting the drugs for any intoxication. The injecting route of drug is one of the major routes of HIV transmission. Moreover, the study also reveals the dynamic pattern of drug uses among the young generations. The drug which was previously used in western countries is now consumed frequently in India. Many youngsters are wasting their lives by getting caught in swamp of drugs as well being infected with HIV virus.Keywords
