原标题：印度计划建最大人脸识别系统，它还有一个更加雄心勃勃的计划
在去年的一项名为“全球对女性最危险的国家地区”调查报告中，印度“荣登”榜首。其实在印度，危险不仅仅针对女性。
据《今日俄罗斯》报道，印度的凶杀率自上世纪60年代起不断上升，到上世纪90年代达到顶峰。而到了2017年，凶杀率又回落到自1963年以来的最低水平。
The murder rate in India fell to 2.49 per 100，000 people in 2017， according to the National Crime Records Bureau （NCRB）， hitting its lowest level since 1963。
印度国家犯罪统计局的数据显示，2017年，印度的谋杀率降至每10万人2.49起，达到1963年以来的最低水平。
The nation’s murder rate had grown for decades before peaking in the early ‘90s。 Since then， it has been steadily declining， despite India’s population growth。
在90年代初达到顶峰之前，印度的谋杀率已经上升了数十年。自那以后，尽管印度的人口在增长，但凶杀率一直在稳步下降。

数据显示，尽管凶杀率整体稳步下降，某些类型的犯罪仍在增加。
The data shows that the highest murder rates occur in the poorer northeastern states and the states with a sizable tribal population， which are often plagued by communal， religion- and caste-based violence。
数据显示，凶杀率最高的地区是较贫穷的东北部各邦，以及拥有大量部落人口的邦，这些邦经常受到社区暴力、宗教暴力以及基于种姓制度暴力的困扰。
Some troubling trends continue， however， like the rise in certain types of crimes such as abduction and kidnapping， as well as violent crimes against women。
然而，一些令人不安的趋势仍在继续，某些类型的犯罪，例如挟持和绑架等，以及对妇女的暴力犯罪，仍在增加。

为此，尽管人脸识别技术在全球范围争议颇多，印度政府仍希望通过建立全国范围的人脸识别系统来追踪“犯罪模式”，进一步降低凶杀率。
The government wants to curb it even more by installing a country-wide facial ID system to track “crime patterns。”
印度政府希望通过在全国范围内安装面部识别系统来追踪“犯罪模式”，进一步遏制凶杀案件。”
Officials say the national database will not only help in identifying criminals and finding missing persons， but will also allow law enforcers to “detect crime patterns and modus operandi” of perpetrators across the country。 The procurement of the system is due to be finalized next month。
印度官员们表示，（面部识别）国家数据库不仅将有助于识别罪犯和寻找失踪人员，而且还将允许执法人员在全国范围内“发现罪犯的犯罪模式和作案手法”。该系统的采购工作将于下月最终敲定。

此外，人脸识别系统也将弥补印度警察相对不足的状况。
India has just 144 police officers for every 100，000 citizens， compared to 318 per 100，000 citizens in the European Union。 In recent years， authorities have turned to facial recognition technology to make up for the shortfall。
印度每10万人只有144名警察，而欧盟每10万人拥有318名警察。近年来，有关部门开始使用面部识别技术来弥补这一不足。
New Delhi‘s law enforcement agencies adopted the technology in 2018， and it’s also being used to police large events and fight crime in a handful of other states， including Andhra Pradesh and Punjab。
新德里的执法部门在2018年采用了面部识别技术，它还被其它几个邦运用于监督大型活动和打击犯罪，包括安得拉邦和旁遮普邦。
But India‘s government now has a much more ambitious plan。 It wants to construct one of the world’s largest facial recognition systems。 The project envisions a future in which police from across the country‘s 29 states and seven union territories would have access to a single， centralized database。
但是印度政府现在有一个更加雄心勃勃的计划。它想要建立世界上最大的面部识别系统之一。该项目的设想是，全国29个邦和7个联邦属地的警察可以访问一个统一的中央数据库。

你觉得印度在全国范围建立面部识别系统怎么样？
