Historic drop in perceived insecurity highlighted

The article highlights that, although the perception of insecurity in Mexico has decreased, more than half of the population still feels vulnerable, with marked disparities between cities and a persistent gender gap in which women experience greater fear, especially in public spaces and transportation. This quantitative evidence is crucial for open data initiatives, as it enables monitoring the impact of public policies and allocating resources more precisely according to territorial and social contexts. Furthermore, it is revealed that family violence affects a significant proportion of households, with a high number of child victims, underscoring the need to make these issues visible through disaggregated statistics. The use of open data facilitates longitudinal analysis of these family and couple dynamics, allowing the identification of recurring patterns and correlations with violence in adulthood, which are essential for designing comprehensive prevention strategies. The relevance of these residential data to the open information movement lies in their capacity to transform public management. By making this detailed information accessible, transparency, accountability, and informed citizen participation are promoted. This not only improves institutional responses to insecurity and domestic violence but also empowers civil society to demand changes based on real evidence rather than isolated perceptions.
