***Starting on March 7th, 2024, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) will adopt a new Records Management System for reporting crimes and arrests. This new system is being implemented to comply with the FBI's mandate to collect NIBRS-only data (NIBRS — FBI - https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/more-fbi-services-and-information/ucr/nibrs). During this transition, users will temporarily see only incidents reported in the retiring system. However, the LAPD is actively working on generating new NIBRS datasets to ensure a smoother and more efficient reporting system. *** **Update 1/18/2024 - LAPD is facing issues with posting the Crime data, but we are taking immediate action to resolve the problem. We understand the importance of providing reliable and up-to-date information and are committed to delivering it. As we work through the issues, we have temporarily reduced our updates from weekly to bi-weekly to ensure that we provide accurate information. Our team is actively working to identify and resolve these issues promptly. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding. Rest assured, we are doing everything we can to fix the problem and get back to providing weekly updates as soon as possible. ** This dataset reflects incidents of crime in the City of Los Angeles dating back to 2020. This data is transcribed from original crime reports that are typed on paper and therefore there may be some inaccuracies within the data. Some location fields with missing data are noted as (0°, 0°). Address fields are only provided to the nearest hundred block in order to maintain privacy. This data is as accurate as the data in the database. Please note questions or concerns in the comments.

Effective March 7, 2024, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) implemented a new Records Management System aligning with the FBI's National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) requirements. This switch, part of a nationwide mandate, enhances the granularity and specificity of crime data. You can learn more about NIBRS on the FBI's website here: https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/more-fbi-services-and-information/ucr/nibrs NIBRS is more comprehensive than the previous Summary Reporting System (SRS) used in the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program. Unlike SRS, which grouped crimes into general categories, NIBRS collects detailed information for each incident, including multiple offenses, offenders, and victims when applicable. This detail-rich format may give the impression of increased crime levels due to its broader capture of criminal activity, but it actually provides a more accurate and nuanced view of crime in our community. This change sets a new baseline for crime reporting, reflecting incidents in the City of Los Angeles starting from March 7, 2024. NIBRS collects detailed information about each victim per incident, including victim- demographics information and specific crime details, providing more insight into affected individuals within each reported crime.

In 2024, there were nearly 26.20homicides per 100,000 inhabitants in the country, down from a homicide rate of 26.8 a year earlier. Since 2017, when it peaked, the homicide rate in Venezuela has been decreasing year after year.

Falling homicide rate but still higher than the Latin American average The country held the fifth position for the highest homicide rate in Latin America, recording 26.2 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants in 2024, even after experiencing a steady decrease in the rate over the years. In line with this alarming rate, the Venezuelan city of Cumana was ranked as the 11th most dangerous city in the world in 2023, reporting a rate of 62.42. Among these homicide cases, the majority, approximately 5,800, are still under investigation, while the remainder falls into categories of closed cases, those resisting authority, or have been categorized as disappearances, painting a grim picture of the challenges faced in addressing violent crime.

Corruption in Venezuela In the corruption index, which ranges from 0 representing the worst case to 100 signifying no corruption, Venezuela has earned the unfortunate distinction of being the most corrupt country in Latin America, with a meager score of 10 in 2024. Moreover, the estimated corruption control score has been steadily declining, reaching -1.69 in 2024, where lower numbers indicate a higher degree of corruption, painting a worrisome picture. To compound matters, the risk of money laundering and terrorist financing has persistently remained at a high level, recording a score of 7.59 during 2024.

The dataset contains a subset of locations and attributes of incidents reported in the ASAP (Analytical Services Application) crime report database by the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department (MPD). Visit crimecards.dc.gov for more information. This data is shared via an automated process where addresses are geocoded to the District's Master Address Repository and assigned to the appropriate street block. Block locations for some crime points could not be automatically assigned resulting in 0,0 for x,y coordinates. These can be interactively assigned using the MAR Geocoder.On February 1 2020, the methodology of geography assignments of crime data was modified to increase accuracy. From January 1 2020 going forward, all crime data will have Ward, ANC, SMD, BID, Neighborhood Cluster, Voting Precinct, Block Group and Census Tract values calculated prior to, rather than after, anonymization to the block level. This change impacts approximately one percent of Ward assignments.

In 2019, there were six deaths by homicide per 100,000 of the population in the United States, compared to 5.9 deaths by homicide in the previous year. This is an increase from 1950, when there were 5.1 deaths by homicide per 100,000 resident population in the United States. However, within the provided time period, the death rate for homicide in the U.S. was highest in 1980, when there were 10.4 deaths by homicide per 100,000 of the population in the United States.

Homicides in the United States

The term homicide is used when a human being is killed by another human being. Criminal homicide takes several forms, for example murder; but homicide is not always a crime, it also includes affirmative defense, insanity, self-defense or the execution of convicted criminals. In the United States, youth homicide has especially been seen as a problem of urban areas, due to poverty, limited adult supervision, involvement in drug and gang activities, and school failure. Both homicide rates and suicide rates in the U.S. among people aged 20 to 24 and teenagers aged 15 to 19 have vastly increased since 2001.

In 2024, there were approximately 39 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants in the country, a slight decrease compared to the previous year. However, the 2023 homicide rate was the highest the South American country has seen since at least 2014.

Dans le cadre de leur activité judiciaire, les forces de sécurité (services de police et unités de gendarmerie) sont amenées à rédiger des procédures relatives à des infractions, avant de les transmettre à l’autorité judiciaire qui est susceptible de les requalifier par la suite. Ces infractions ont pu être constatées suite à une plainte déposée par une victime, à un signalement, un témoignage, un flagrant délit, une dénonciation, etc., mais aussi sur l’initiative des forces de sécurité.

Depuis 1972, les services de sécurité (police et gendarmerie) se sont dotées d’un outil standardisé de mesure de l’activité judiciaire des services basé sur des comptages mensuels, appelé « État 4001 ». Ce document administratif porte sur les crimes et les délits (à l’exclusion des contraventions et des délits routiers), enregistrés pour la première fois par les forces de sécurité et portés à la connaissance de l’institution judiciaire. Les infractions y sont classées en 107 catégories (appelés « index »), très hétérogènes par la nature et la gravité des faits, mais aussi par le nombre d’infractions constatées chaque mois. Selon l’index, l’unité de compte retenue peut varier : elle peut être la victime par exemple en matière de violence sexuelle, l’auteur par exemple en matière d’usage ou d’usage revente de stupéfiants ou encore le véhicule en matière de vol de véhicule, etc. Cela implique qu’il n’est pas pertinent de constituer des agrégats regroupant des index n’ayant pas la même unité de compte.

Depuis sa création fin 2014, le Service statistique ministériel de la sécurité intérieure (SSMSI) expertise et fiabilise ces différents index et diffuse des indicateurs choisis et construits à partir de regroupements de ces index.

La disponibilité, depuis le printemps 2016, de bases de données détaillées sur les infractions constatées a permis la construction de catégories statistiques plus fines que celles de « l’état 4001» (comptages historiques suivis par le ministère de l’Intérieur) : repérage des violences intrafamiliales, analyses par types de victimes ou selon la localisation des faits (par exemple dans les transports en commun).

Afin de favoriser l’ouverture des données sur la délinquance et l’insécurité, le SSMSI met à disposition, 3 bases de données annuelles (communale, départementale et régionale) sur les principaux indicateurs des crimes et délits enregistrés par la police et la gendarmerie nationales, depuis 2016, toutes les trois selon le lieu de commission. Ces bases ont vocation à être enrichies au fur et à mesure que les données pour d’autres indicateurs seront fiabilisées.

Calendrier des enrichissements/modifications : - Janvier 2025 : Intégration de l’indicateur relatif aux tentatives d’homicides à l’échelon départemental et régional ; renommage des variables. - Juillet 2024 : Intégration de la géographie des communes connue au 1er janvier 2024. - Mars 2024 : Ajout des arrondissements de Paris, Lyon et Marseille pour les indicateurs usage et trafic de stupéfiants dans la base communale ; création d'une base régionale pour l'ensemble des indicateurs de la délinquance disponibles. - Février 2024 : Ajout de la base communale au format Parquet ; révision du fichier départemental sur les destructions et dégradations volontaires en 2023 (ajout de remontées d’informations tardives). - Janvier 2024 : Ajouts des indicateurs relatifs aux homicides et aux escroqueries à l’échelon départemental (pour plus de détails cf. Interstats Analyse n°65 - Géographie départementale de la délinquance enregistrée en 2023). - Juillet 2023 : Ajouts des indicateurs relatifs à l’usage et au trafic de stupéfiants, intégration de la géographie des communes connue au 1er janvier 2023, intégration de la géographie des communes connue au 1er janvier 2023. - Mars 2023 : Ajout de l’indicateur relatif aux destructions et dégradations volontaires, extension du champ géographique aux DROM et ajout des arrondissements de Paris, Lyon et Marseille. - Septembre 2022 : Intégration de la géographie des communes connue au 1er janvier 2022. - Juin 2022 : Rectification de la valeur de certains taux départementaux de délinquance pour 1000 habitants/logements. Pour les départements de Paris, du Rhône et des Bouches-du-Rhône, les habitants/logements de Paris, Lyon et Marseille ont été comptés en double (en sommant la population de la commune et celle de ses arrondissements). Ceci a induit une erreur dans les taux de délinquance pour 1 000 habitants/logements de ces départements. - Mars 2022 : Création des bases communale et départementale.

Les données diffusées sont limitées aux communes pour lesquelles plus de 5 faits ont été enregistrés pendant 3 années successives. Cette précaution est motivée : d’une part par la fragilité des estimations sur des communes qui enregistrent peu de faits de délinquance (cf. Interstats Analyse n°66 - Géographie de la délinquance à l'échelle communale en 2023), d’autre part par le secret statistique qui ne doit pas permettre, par le croisement de multiples sources, de déduire des informations individuelles sur les personnes concernées dans ces procédures. Cette précaution doit notamment être appréciée au regard de la sensibilité de certaines atteintes comme les violences sexuelles. La base de données diffusée fournit également l'information sur l'absence de faits enregistrés lorsqu’elle se reproduit sur 3 années successives. Les données communales de délinquance ventilées par lieu de commission en 2014 et en 2015 n’étant pas disponibles, les données communales de 2016 et de 2017 sont diffusées si les critères de diffusion pour l’année 2018 sont vérifiés.

Outre les indicateurs des crimes et délits, la base communale comporte des données informatives relatives à la commune où se sont produits les faits, telles que les codes officiels géographiques de la commune, du département et de la région d’appartenance, leurs libellés respectifs, les populations résidentes correspondantes,… (pour plus de détails se référer à l’espace Documentation ci-dessous)

In 2023, there were approximately 2.4 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants in El Salvador. Since 2015, when it stood at 103, the murder rate has been dropping annually in this Central American country. Crime current state The region has witnessed a substantial reduction in the number of homicides since 2015, resulting in the most common crimes becoming increasingly more centered on non-lethal offenses and material-related transgressions, which now pose the most prevalent threats. This shift is equally apparent across both genders, with the rate of femicides steadily declining, paralleling a consistent decrease in overall victimization rates. Consequently, El Salvador achieved the ranking of the third safest country within the Latin American homicide rate context. Notwithstanding these notable improvements, a lingering sense of caution endures among the populace, as nearly half of them remain apprehensive about the prospect of falling victim to criminal activities. Main economic problems Following an extended phase marked by elevated inflation, the region continues to grapple with challenges in its efforts to recover. The impact has been most pronounced on the prices of essential food items, rendering them increasingly unaffordable for a population where approximately 20 percent live under poverty conditions. Furthermore, the unemployment rate persists, with one out of every two individuals still seeking employment opportunities. A significant proportion, approximately 60 percent, remain apprehensive about job loss, recognizing the subsequent loss of their primary income source. In response, the government is envisaging an enhancement in both the employment rate and the GDP, albeit with a gradual recovery trajectory following the substantial downturn experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The District of Columbia had the highest robbery rate in the United States in 2023, with 614.2 robberies per 100,000 inhabitants. The lowest robbery rate in the country was found in Idaho, with 9.5 robberies per 100,000 inhabitants. Crime in the District of Columbia The violent crime rate in the District of Columbia was found to be the highest in the United States, with there being a few reasons for this: Firstly, the population of the District of Columbia is quite low (causing a higher rate of crime), and secondly, issues such as the crack epidemic of the 1990s exacerbated the prevalence of crime in the District. As rising rents and gentrification force more people out of the District, crime is moving into neighboring Maryland and Virginia suburbs, as poorer residents seek more affordable living conditions. Crime in the United States Overall, violent crime in the United States and the District of Columbia today is far below the violent crime rate of the 1990s. While some may feel that crime is on the rise, due in part to media sensationalism in fact, the opposite is true, and the United States is becoming safer over time.

The share of people whose neighbors are organized against crime in their locality in Veracruz de Ignacio de la Llave increased by 4.5 percentage points (+14.83 percent) in 2024. With 34.84 percent, the share thereby reached its highest value in the observed period. For more insights about the share of people whose neighbors are organized against crime in their locality consider different countries: In 2024, in comparison to Veracruz de Ignacio de la Llave, the share in Guerrero was forecast to be higher, while it was forecast to be considerably lower in Baja California.

As of December 31, the U.S. police shot 1,173 people to death in 2024. In 2023, 1,164 people were shot to death by police in the United States. Police treatment Since as early as the 18th century, police brutality has been a significant issue in the United States. Black Americans have been especially marginalized by police officers, as they have faced higher rates of fatal police shootings compared to other ethnicities. Disparities also exist in perceptions of police treatment depending on ethnicity. A majority of Black Americans think that Black and White people do not receive equal police treatment, while more than half of White and Hispanic Americans think the same. Police reform The upsurge in Black Lives Matter protests in response to the killing of Black Americans as a result of police brutality has created a call for police reform. In 2019, it was found that police killings decreased by a quarter in police departments that implemented a policy that requires officers to use all other means before shooting. Since the killing of George Floyd in May 2020, 21 states, including New York and California, have passed bills that focused on police supervision.

Until June 2024, 33 women and girls were killed on account of their gender in the Caribbean country In 2023 most of them murdered by their current partner. The province of La Vega and the capital Santo Domingo, recorded the largest number of femicides, a total of five each.

Inflation was the most worrying topic worldwide as of January 2025, with one third of the respondents choosing that option. Crime and violence as well as poverty and social inequality followed behind. Moreover, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the war in Gaza, nine percent of the respondents were worried about military conflict between nations. Only four percent were worried about the COVID-19 pandemic, which dominated the world after its outbreak in 2020. Global inflation and rising prices Inflation rates have spiked substantially since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. From 2020 to 2021, the worldwide inflation rate increased from 3.5 percent to 4.7 percent, and from 2021 to 2022, the rate increased sharply from 4.7 percent to 8.7 percent. While rates are predicted to fall come 2025, many are continuing to struggle with price increases on basic necessities. Poverty and global development Poverty and social inequality was the third most worrying issue to respondents. While poverty and inequality are still prominent, global poverty rates have been on a steady decline over the years. In 1994, 64 percent of people in low-income countries and around one percent of people in high-income countries lived on less than 2.15 U.S. dollars per day. By 2018, this had fallen to almost 44 percent of people in low-income countries and 0.6 percent in high-income countries. Moreover, fewer people globally are dying of preventable diseases and people are living longer lives. Despite these aspects, issues such as wealth inequality have global prominence.
