National Police Agency_ Statistics by crime area

According to 2024 national crime statistics, the overall number of crimes occurred overwhelmingly in metropolitan areas such as Seoul, southern Gyeonggi Province, and Busan. This is particularly evident in the concentration of major crime types such as theft, violence, and sophisticated crimes in these areas. The areas with the highest number of crimes were Seoul (over 301,933 cases) and the Gyeonggi Southern Police Agency (over 184,337 cases), which are closely related to their high population density and economic activity. The number of arrests was also highest in these areas. Conversely, Sejong, Jeju, and Gangwon Province showed relatively low crime rates. However, some areas exhibited similar or even higher rates of violent crime (murder, robbery) compared to other regions due to their regional characteristics, suggesting the need for tailored security policies for each region.
