Mexican criminal justice system is in crisis. We are facing historic rates of criminality and violence,
mostly because of the States inability to rise as a real threat of punishment for those who break
the law. For understanding where the challenges of our criminal justice system lie, it is
fundamental to know what happens in the process since a crime is committed until it is punished,
or not; which authorities are involved and where the bottlenecks are. In this process, the statistics
are an indispensable tool for measuring the institutions performance on each phase of the
process. Unfortunately, the available public data of security are difficult to compile, compare or
systematize. Acknowledging that the first step for solving the problem is understanding it, CIDAC
has worked with the public available data and, in this document, presents 27 figures for
understanding the countrys insecurity problem.

The order of the document is designed for telling a story: what happens with a crime since it is committed until it is, or
not, punished. The inferior diagram visualizes this process. Nevertheless, the reader could focus on a specific part of themap, like reported crimes, or a phenomenons component, such as organized crime. The order of the factors does notalter the product if, with these 27 pieces of information, we achieve motivating other stories with new solutions.

Crime incidence per state (Mex vs. EU)
Reported crimes per stateWhenwetalkaboutreportedcrimes perstate,we are
not referring to the actual number of crimes. These
only account for the crimes that people decide to
informtotheauthoritiesforthemtobeinvestigated.
Forexample,for2010,BajaCaliforniaisthestatewithmore reported crimes per 100,000 inhabitants. This
does not mean it is the entity with more crime
incidence (reported crimes + unreported crimes), in
which case Tabasco wouldbe the entity wheremore

Nevertheless, theincidence inMexico has
remainedpractically unaltereddue to the
lack of structural changes in matters of
security, andespecially inprocurement of
justice (previous to the development and
implementation of the current Criminal
Justice Reform). Entities like Queretaro,
Nayarit and Veracruz present a crime

States with more variation in darkfigure of crime 2000-2010
Durango, Nayarit, Tabasco, San Luis

fact,the percentage ofcrimesthat are
not reported has increased 30% in
Chiapas, 37% in San Luis Potosi and
20%inTabasco.

Annual growth rate in reportedcrimes per state
Initially, we could assume that the
states with more violence, especially
those with high levels of murders
allegedly related with organized
crime, should have a decline on the
number of reported crimes in 2010
comparedwith2009. This hypothesis
would mostly deal with the citizens
fear of inZiltration or cooption of
groups related with organized crime
inthe stateinstitutions.Nevertheless,
even though a clear decline on the
numberofreportedcrimesisa fact in
stateswithhighlevelsofviolence,like
Tamaulipas, Michoacan, Guerrero or
Morelos, thecase of Durango anditsi nc re as e s ee ms t o w ea ke n t hi s
presumption.

Whenweseereportedcrimesinthecountrythroughouttime,wecanZindthat,comparedwith1997,2010wasayearwith
less registered crimes. Nevertheless, reported crimes have been relatively stable during the last 13 years. It is explained
because reportedcrimesjust show us thePublic Prosecutorscapacityfor processing crimes.Even thoughthe criminality
rates have skyrocketed in the last years, the Public Prosecutor has been incapable of reacting towards the insecurity
phenomenon.

In the course of three years, almost 35,000

problem starts with thelabel. First, there is a
generalpresumptionthatthevictimswerealso
