Property crimes surge 12.4% to 47,188 cases and assault crimes up 5.9% to 11,067 cases

Malaysia’s crime rate rose by 11.1 per cent in 2024, with 58,255 cases reported compared with 52,444 in 2023, largely driven by property-related offences and assault crimes.

According to the latest crime statistics released by the Statistics Department (DOSM), property crimes remained the most prevalent, surging 12.4 per cent to 47,188 cases, while assault crimes also registered an increase of 5.9 per cent, reaching 11,067 cases.

“Despite the overall rise, the report recorded a positive development in homicide cases, with intentional homicides declining by 9.5 per cent to 237 cases, while non-intentional homicides remained unchanged at two cases.

“Kidnapping incidents also showed a slight reduction, with 17 cases reported in 2024, of which children accounted for 11 cases,” said a DOSM statement, Bernama reported.

It said sexual crimes presented a mixed picture.
