The risk of Indonesians becoming victims of crime has tended to decrease over the last decade. This is reflected in the falling crime rate during the 2012-2021 period.

According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), the crime rate is the number of crimes occurring in a region over a year, divided by the region's population and multiplied by 100,000. A higher crime rate indicates lower security.

In 2012, the national crime rate reached 146 per 100,000 people. Since 2016, the rate has consistently decreased each year, reaching 90 per 100,000 people in 2021, as detailed in the graph.

This decrease in the crime rate is consistent with the lengthening of the time interval between crimes nationally. In 2012, a crime occurred in Indonesia every 1 minute and 32 seconds. By 2021, this interval had increased to 2 minutes and 11 seconds, indicating a reduction in crime.

In 2021, Papua had the highest crime rate, at 289 per 100,000 people, followed by DKI Jakarta and its surrounding areas (Polda Metro Jaya region) at 277 per 100,000 people.

That same year, West Java had the lowest crime rate, at only 15 per 100,000 people, followed by Central Java with a rate of 26 per 100,000 people.
