Between 2016 and 2019, the number of crimes or criminal acts (crime total) in the Indonesian National Police data showed a decreasing trend. In 2016, the number of crimes reached 357,200 incidents. This decreased to 269,300 incidents by 2019.
It is important to note that, besides the total number of crimes, other indicators used to measure crime include the crime rate (per 100,000 population) and the crime clock (time elapsed between crimes).
However, citing Savitz, the Central Bureau of Statistics cautions against interpreting overall crime figures too simply. These figures are a basic arithmetic calculation combining all types of crimes without considering their severity.
