The Attorney General, Néstor Humberto Martínez Neira, submitted the results of the weekly criminal census, a new statistical mechanism that will allow the Office of the Attorney General to create a preventive and intelligent criminal policy.
It is a systematic tool that contributes to demonstrate how offenses behave in all regions of the country, from San Andrés to Amazonas, in order to be able to stablish the modus operandi, practices and criminal patterns. Through the analysis of statistics, it will be possible for the Office of the Attorney General to identify criminal phenomenon that would affect regions by detecting at early stage criminal organizations and groups and those criminal tendencies with a negative impact on public security.
According to the first census, the offense that affects citizens the most is robbery. Only, from august 12 to 18 this year, 5.339 lawsuits were filed. This is followed by offenses such as personal injury, domestic violence, drug trafficking, failure to pay legal child support obligations, threats and homicides, among others.
