🇫🇷 CRIME RISING IN FRANCE: SEXUAL VIOLENCE +9%, ATTEMPTED MURDERS +7%

New data shows 122,600 sexual violence cases in 2024, with rapes and attempts up 9%, and victims now wait 6 months on average to report.

Attempted homicides also jumped 7%, even as actual murders dropped for the first time since 2020.

Foreign nationals, just 8% of the population, made up 38% of theft suspects and 40% of vehicle thefts.

France’s crime curve isn’t flattening… it’s shifting.
