Crime statistics in Spain provide a detailed view of the state of public safety in the country, based on official data provided by the Ministry of Interior. This information is essential for understanding the reality of coexistence and public order in different Spanish regions. The portal presents a comprehensive breakdown of recorded criminal offenses, organized into categories that allow analysis from property crimes to offenses against persons. Each type of crime can be examined at the autonomous community and province level, facilitating territorial comparisons that reveal significant patterns. Among the most consulted data are those related to burglaries, thefts, fraud and violence-related crimes. Territorial analysis shows notable differences between urban and rural areas, as well as between autonomous communities with different socioeconomic characteristics. Large cities concentrate the highest number of offenses in absolute terms, but per capita rates offer a different perspective. The temporal evolution of crime allows observation of important trends: digitalization has brought an increase in technological crimes and online fraud, while other traditional categories show variations according to economic and social context. Monitoring these indicators is essential for security policy planning. This section provides access to verifiable security information, allowing citizens, researchers and media to form an objective picture based on data, beyond subjective perceptions or partial information.
