In order to promote the openness of data on delinquency and insecurity, the Ministry of Internal Security Statistics Service (SSMSI, Department of the Ministry of the Interior) has made available two annual databases on the main indicators of crimes and crimes recorded by the national police and gendarmerie, since 2016 at the municipal level depending on the place of commission. These databases are intended to be enriched as other indicators are trusted (scams, destruction/voluntary degradation, infringements of drug legislation, etc.). Two elements must be taken into account when interpreting the level of indicators: * the time limit for registration, which may create a time lag between the time the infringements occurred and the time when they are accounted for; * the complaint filing rate has an impact on the level of crime recorded. Environment and Safety Investigations are used to assess complaint rates. For example, according to these surveys on average over the period 2011-2018, only 12 % of victims of sexual violence outside the household file complaints, compared with 74 % for victims of burglaries. In addition, it should be noted that municipal data are not reported for the low values of recorded delinquency, both for reasons of interpretability of these data and respect for statistical confidentiality. Thus, when fewer than 6 crimes or offences are committed in a commune (number assessed by class of facts), they are published only if the situation persists for 3 years. The same applies to the absence of recorded facts (noted 0), which is disseminated only when the situation recurs over three successive years. Given the non-distribution of these highly volatile and sometimes geographically imprecise data, the share of delinquency events disseminated at the municipal level varies, depending on the indicator, between 59 % (for theft with arms) and 94 % (for theft without violence against persons) in 2021. 11 indicators are published, corresponding to the agglomeration of items in the standardised nomenclature called “state 4001”, used since 1971 to measure the judicial activity of services through monthly counts: 1) Voluntary Coups and Injuries on Persons 15 years of age or older, which include 2) Intra-Family Voluntary Injuries and Injuries on Persons 15 years of age or older and (3) Voluntary Injuries and Voluntary Injuries on Persons 15 years of age or older, 4) Sexual Violence, 5) Thefts with Arms, 6) Violent Unarmed Flights, 7) Theft without Violence Against Persons, 8) Housing Cambriolages, 9) Thefts of Vehicles (Automotive or Two Motor Wheels), 10) Flights in Vehicles, 11) Accessories Flights on Vehicles.
