Marc Vanguard presented the results of the "Experience and Perception of Security" (EPS) survey as alarming. According to the figures he shared, over 30% of adults ranked crime as the top issue among eight social problems, compared to 20% in 2022. Insecurity at home affected 8.3 million people, or 16% of adults, a 27% increase since 2022 and the third consecutive rise. He also indicated that 11.5 million people refrained from going out alone for safety reasons, an increase of 29% in three years, with 32% of women affected. Vanguard added that 12.1 million people felt unsafe in their neighborhood, which is 2.7 million more than in 2022, nearly one in four adults. He reported 658,000 victims of physical violence in 2024, an increase of 26% since 2021, and noted that the document described this increase as clear and progressive. Insults would have affected 2.6 million people in 2024, up 26% in nearly three years; 96% of victims reportedly did not file a complaint. Finally, he indicated that 1.1 million people were affected by burglaries in 2024, a 25% increase since 2021. He described the EPS as the official survey of the statistical service of the Ministry of the Interior, conducted with 200,000 adults each year since 2022, and clarified that it allows for an estimate of the total number of victims, including those who did not file a complaint. #Insécurité #Délinquance #Sécurité (translated)
