Jaén, with its rich cultural heritage and growing tourism sector, faces unique challenges related to public safety, particularly in areas that attract visitors. The province's economy is bolstered by agriculture and olive oil production, which may influence crime trends, as economic factors often correlate with crime rates. Furthermore, the relatively low population density of Jaén, combined with its rural landscape, impacts the prevalence of fraud and forgery compared to urban centers.
Nationally, fraud and forgery have also been significant concerns, reflecting broader economic challenges across Spain. Understanding these trends is vital for local authorities to enhance public safety and implement effective preventive measures.
