East Jakarta has the highest number of murder cases in the capital. Data from the Jakarta Provincial Government in 2014 showed 14 murder cases in this area, exceeding other Jakarta regions. South Jakarta recorded 8 cases, West Jakarta 7 cases, and Central Jakarta 3 cases.
According to Tempo news reports, at least two reasons explain East Jakarta's high crime rate. First, a significant portion of its population is economically disadvantaged, and crime is often committed by people from this socioeconomic group. Second, demographic factors play a role. East Jakarta borders Depok and Bekasi, areas in West Java. Criminals often perceive this area as facilitating their escape from police pursuit.
