Fraud and forgery remain significant concerns in the province of Valencia (València), part of the Comunidad Valenciana region in Spain. In 2024, there were 2,667 reported cases of these crimes, reflecting a 12.7% decrease from 3,055 cases in 2023. This decline follows a consistent trend of rising reports, with figures rising from 1,506 cases in 2020 to 2,549 in 2022 and 2,338 in 2021.
This downward trend in 2024 may indicate improved law enforcement measures or changing economic conditions affecting crime rates. Valencia’s rich tourism industry, with millions of visitors annually, could also contribute to these figures, as tourists may be more vulnerable to fraud attempts. Additionally, the region's high population density intensifies the potential for these crimes.
Comparatively, national trends show similar fluctuations in fraud and forgery cases, suggesting that while the province is improving, these crimes remain a prevalent issue across Spain. Monitoring these statistics is crucial for understanding and addressing public safety challenges. (Source: Statistical Portal of Criminality, Spanish Ministry of Interior)
