Crime Risk in Indonesia Slightly Decreased in 2024

According to data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the risk of being exposed to crime in Indonesia slightly decreased in 2024.

Previously, in 2023, the risk level reached 214. This means that out of 100,000 residents, 214 people experienced crime throughout that year.

Then, in 2024, the risk of being exposed to crime decreased to 204 per 100,000 residents.

Along with this, the time interval between crimes (crime clock) also lengthened.

In 2024, the interval between one crime incident and the next reached 56 seconds, which is 3 seconds longer than in 2023.

"This lengthening time interval can be interpreted as a decrease in the intensity or frequency of crime incidents in the 2024 period compared to 2023," BPS stated in its Criminal Statistics 2024/2025 report.
