Mexicans do not trust that security in the country will improve: Inegi

According to the National Survey of Urban Public Safety made by the INational Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi) In the first quarter of the year, in Mexico, three out of 10 citizens believe that the crime and insecurity that lives in the area he inhabits will continue to be “just as bad” in the next 12 months.

Last March, 62.1 percent of those surveyed considered living in their city unsafe, against the 66.2 percent registered in the same period of 2022. This reflected a slight decline in the perception related to the topic.

As we have mentioned in other informative notes of The Truth Newsit is important to highlight that the Secretariat of the Navy (Semar) is the security unit with the best perception of performance against crime, with 85.6 percent.

What are the results of INEGI in terms of security?

They are followed by the Army (82.5 percent); National Guard (73.6 percent); state police (53.2 percent), and municipal police (45.6 percent).

On the issue of insecurity due to sex, women are the ones who mostly feel insecure in their cities (68.1 percent). 54.8 percent of men feel unsafe in their city.

Fresnillo is the city considered the most unsafe nationally (96 percent); followed by the municipality of Zacatecas (94.3 percent); Naucalpan (88 percent) and Ciudad Obregón (86.4 percent).
