The year 2024 saw 107 ship piracy and armed robbery incidents across Asia. This was a significant decrease from 2015, when there were over two hundred incidents of ship piracy and armed robberies throughout Asia. Asia accounted for just over half of the pirate attacks worldwide in 2024. Reasons behind piracy and armed robbery The number of ship piracy and armed robbery attacks has fluctuated from the onset of 2010. Likely reasons for the differing numbers can be attributed to a lack of law enforcement on the seas and in some cases, social and political unrest in certain regions. Pirate attacks are defined as those which take place outside the jurisdiction of a state, those inside are classed as armed robberies. Piracy and armed robbery attacks on ships have been viewed as opportunistic raids, in which the perpetrator usually witnesses valuable goods being loaded on board a ship and attempts to steal them. An increase in incidents Although piracy and armed robbery incidents were seen to decrease in 2019, the rate increased once again in 2020. It is thought that the outbreak of the coronavirus sparked an increase of incidents, as economic hardship could have been a motivation for people to perform criminal acts. The Southeast Asian region had the highest number of attempted and actual piracy attacks worldwide in 2024. Of these, most of the incidents which occurred while ships were underway were located on the Straits of Malacca and Singapore (SOMS), a common route for commercial shipments which is located between Malaysia and Indonesia.

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.
