National Survey of Victimization and Perception of Public Security.
By 2021, it is estimated that there were 22.1 million victims of a crime, aged 18 or older, which represents a rate of 24,207 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, revealed the National Survey of Victimization and Perception of Public Security (Envipe) 2022 of the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi).
In comparison, for 2020, the year the Covid-19 pandemic began, 23,520 victims were registered for every 100,000 people, a figure lower than that registered in 2019 (24,849).
By sex, the rate of victims in women was 23,309 and in men it was 25,253.
By entities, the Inegi reported that in 23 the rate of crime victims remained the same between 2020 and 2021; in four there was a statistically significant reduction: Campeche (-18.3%); Hidalgo (-24%); Michoacán (-15.7%) and Sonora (-16.4%).
In contrast, five presented an increase: Chiapas (13.1%); Chihuahua (15.8%); Guanajuato (11.9%); State of Mexico (17.7%) and Sinaloa (17.1%).
According to the report, of the 15.6 million estimated crimes where the victim was present, in 51% of the cases only one criminal participated.
“By 2021, the average national rate is 1.7 criminals per victim,” said Inegi.
They add up to 28.1 million crimes
The Inegi reported that 28.1 million crimes were committed last year.
“This represents a concentration rate of 1.3 crimes per victim,” said the statistics institute.
The survey detailed that in crimes such as home robbery, the incidence was higher in men than in women.
However, “in terms of sexual crimes, women were more vulnerable, with an incidence rate of 3,935 crimes per 100,000 women, a figure statistically higher than the 3,140 crimes estimated in 2020.
“10 sexual crimes committed against women were counted for a sexual offense committed against men.”
The robbery
Regarding the crime of robbery or assault in the street or transport, the Inegi indicated that the Metropolitan Area of the Valley of Mexico is the one with the highest incidence number, with 17,424 per 100,000 inhabitants.
In the same city, the municipalities such as Iztapalapa, Milpa Alta, Tláhuac and Xochimilco are where the highest number of robberies occur, while in the demarcations of Benito Juárez, Coyoacán, Magdalena Contreras and Tlalpan a lower incidence was observed.
On the other hand, cities or regions such as the metropolitan area of Toluca and Puebla closely follow the Mexican capital, with 15,897 and 13,733 robberies, respectively, and for every 100,000 people.
reported crimes
Regarding the rate of reported crimes, the Inegi reported that in 2021 only 10.1% of crimes were reported.
Of these, the Public Ministry or State Prosecutor’s Office initiated an investigation folder in only 67.3% of the cases.
“During 2021, an investigation folder was reported and initiated in 6.8% of all crimes,” the institution said.
He added that in 93.2% of crimes there was no complaint or an investigation folder was not initiated.

Envipe reported, for its part, that the crime cost Mexicans 278.9 billion pesos, equivalent to 1.55% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
