Assaults and shoplifting at companies

The report reveals that insecurity in Puebla drastically impacts the local economy, generating significant costs for economic units that exceed those in other major entities in the country. This phenomenon not only involves direct losses from crimes but also high expenditures on security measures, which deteriorate the competitiveness and financial stability of formal businesses. Perceptions of insecurity among business owners have increased considerably, forcing many companies to alter their daily operations. To mitigate risks, businesses have reduced operating hours, canceled growth plans, and modified distribution routes. These defensive adaptations limit commercial expansion and operational efficiency, demonstrating how organized crime affects long-term strategic planning. This information is relevant to open data because it exposes the gap between economic reality and official statistics: the overwhelming majority of crimes go unreported. This underscores the need to improve the quality and accessibility of data on actual insecurity, as police figures underestimate the socioeconomic impact, hindering the formulation of effective public policies based on accurate statistical evidence.
