However, the increase in collective security crimes may be influenced by rising tourism and industrial activity, which can attract both legitimate visitors and potential offenders.
Nationally, Spain has also witnessed fluctuations in crime rates, yet León's situation underscores localized challenges. For context, national statistics reflect varying trends in urban versus rural crime, indicating that regions like León must adapt their security measures to effectively address these complexities.
