Secuestro en México registró un aumento de 26.4% en 2022, reporta Inegi
Mexico’s security landscape underwent a sharp shift in 2022, marking a significant reversal of the downward trend in kidnappings that had been observed since 2019. This resurgence indicates that previous safety improvements were fragile, underscoring a critical change in crime dynamics that demands immediate policy attention and reallocation of resources. To address these challenges, transparent and accessible crime data is essential. Surveys such as the National Victimization Survey help approximate reality by capturing unreported incidents, providing a more accurate picture than official police records alone. This data transparency is crucial for identifying hotspots and understanding the true scale of victimization across different demographics and regions. Access to such comprehensive datasets enables researchers and civil society to analyze safety perceptions and crime distribution more effectively. By making this information open, stakeholders can better evaluate the impact of security measures, foster public trust through accountability, and drive evidence-based solutions to combat rising insecurity and protect vulnerable communities.
