Explaining India's rising crime through Durkheim theory on society

I was watching Netflix's brilliant show - Mindhunter and there was a dialogue between two characters that got my attention. A Post-grad student was talking about criminality in society and quoted Durkheim:

"All deviance is a challenge to the normalised repressiveness of the society.

If there is something wrong within the society, then criminality is a response to that."

I felt this aptly applies to a lot of problems in India currently, where we are ok with criminals (other words for Politicians) running our society and also people taking law into their own hands. India is also a very repressive state.

Some of the most bizarre murder cases that we are hearing lately seemingly have no motive at all.

What do you all think?
