Government and INEGI review discrepancies in reported intentional homicides by prosecutors in 2025: Sheinbaum - La Jornada San Luis
The federal government is working jointly with the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) to resolve discrepancies between homicides reported by prosecutors’ offices and those registered by the Civil Registry. The president emphasized the need for full transparency in the results, clarifying that the differences stem from the distinct information sources used by each institution. While the public security system relies on investigation files opened by prosecutors, INEGI uses medical certificates and death certificates. This methodological discrepancy explains why the figures vary significantly, reflecting different stages and validations in the recording of violent deaths across the country. This issue is crucial for open data because it highlights the importance of understanding the metadata and operational definitions underlying public datasets. Transparency in data collection methodologies enables users to correctly interpret statistics and ensures the integrity and comparability of public information managed by various government agencies.
