turns out crime rates go down when no one is charged for doing them.
lIlIllIlIlIII on
How much of this is due to the fact less crime is being reported therefore the Garda don’t even turn up to crime scenes to know there was one.
Also keep in mind we have LESS Garda today compared to 2005, despite the population growing.
HumbleBoat5255 on
Petty crime is often not reported. The Ring cameras on our street catch people attempting to break into numerous cars every week, but neighbours have stopped reporting it.
Difficult-Set-3151 on
We know for a fact they don’t investigate all crime so what’s the point of these statistics?
Also, courts would let people away with the crimes and even if they were jailed, they’d get out early because of overcrowding so again, what’s the point of any of this?

Assume these stats are based on „reported“ crimes?
If so, then they mean jack shit.

Am I missing something but Demonstrations? Isn’t that just how a active democracy works? also this all looks great on paper but there could be decreases across the board but increases in attacks on specific groups, I’m not sure the Gardaí are willing to publish that but it’s these they should be looking at not just saying „crime down time to relax“

Can’t document crime if you have fuck all Gardai.

This smells of data manipulation, I have many questions on the sources and wordings used here as a data scientist.
I’m sure the Gardai have made effort to reduce serious crime but a 25% decrease in just 6 months is very suspicious, for that to take place it would mean every town/city has seen a noticeable increase of Garda presence in catching criminals, I can’t speak for every town/city but the ones I know have not observed this at all.

I’m curious about rates of cybercrime and fraud.
Not the type of crime that people usually think about because it happens so “invisibly”, but it’s pretty damaging economically to the people affected by it.

Why are „demonstrations(non -crime) being shown on a sheet of crime statistics?
South-Bird6436 on
Why are non crime demonstrations being included in this infographic?
Violent demonstrations sure absolutely but peaceful demonstrations under free speech should be no where near this ‘crime statistics’ infographic.

Amazing job Gardai! That’s why we are all feeling much safer and secure

Anything on domestic violence and sexual assault or do we still not care? (I *do* get that this is a response to a „the streets aren’t safe for normal people“ infogram directed at those who claim such things).

Call me a cynic but I can imagine a Wire style scene with the police chiefs discussing stats and how to massage them and make them look nice and presentable.

Important to remember the volume of crimes that never are and will never be reported.

Can’t count the stats if they don’t answer the phone, or tell you to deal with it yourself.

“Crime is decreasing so it must be because people aren’t reporting crimes anymore” – Reddit Logic 2025
Unless people have only stopped reporting crimes since January of this year then last years stats would also have been effected by the underreporting and this years stats would still equal a reduction on reported crime.
RecycledPanOil on
Are they by any chance confused and comparing 6months to 12 months of statistics?
TheTealBandit on
Cool now show the categories where it went up
Decky86 on
Is this reported crime or actual cases that have had an outcome? .. because people have lost faith in them and literally do not bother calling. Imagine waiting for 3 hrs for them to just turn up and do absolutely nothing to help .
GrouchyCustomer6050 on
Why are non criminal demonstrations included? About as relevant as the amount of morning dumps taken the last 12 months
Jakdublin on
And yet, €2.48 billion was allocated in the last budget for the recruitment of 5,000 more gardai. Surely with those amazing statistics we should be making redundancies. The streets have never been safer!

Are these at least collated independently before being given to the gardaí, do we have any insight into the methodology here? Feels like something the ombudsman should be doing instead of the gardaí themselves.

Wait until they cut out their phone lines, you will see 100% reduction in crimes of all types. I guess at that time we should shut down all the prisons and declare we live in a utopia.

If garda doesn’t show crime will be down. Makes sense
Heldin_Avice on
Irish people are known for being good at writing fiction. Its an amazing coincidence how the first five „s*tatistics*“ for very diverse crimes magically manage to all come within 3 percentage points of 1/4, making a great soundbite for senior Gardai and Politicians. And why are „Demonstrations“ that are explicitly stated here as being „non-crime“ included in Crime Statistics?
Dennisthefirst on
Great news! No drug cases at all! 🤣🤣🤣
bloody_ell on
Can we’ve a statistic to see how many complaints received by gardai have been followed up on properly?
It would be interesting to see whether the complete bollocks above is down to complaints being ignored or complainants being sick of being ignored and just not bothering.

Good news
Saw fraud is up 73%
And now makes up 78% of all crime in state

Garda fobbing off attempts to report crimes: ± ?%
ItsARatsLife on
The Guards have a really bad rep with data (nearly as bad their rep for graphic design). So here are some stupid questions of mine:
– What’s the reference point? Some of these numbers are very dramatic and that can be for a multitude of reasons. This is presumably YTD?
– Is that data used from pulse? Important, because the CSO marked data like this as „under reservation“ since it wasn’t completely reliable.
– Why are we reporting non-crimes? Is there a goal to decrease activity seen as dissident or political also?

Why are protestors on there but sexual assault isn’t?

Sexual offences +15% btw according to the CSO – didn’t make the infographic for some strange reason???

A few friends work in a retail store on Henry street and things are being robbed from the store multiple times a day and the guards don’t care about it they take details and often don’t even follow up , nor do they request CCTV or give pulse numbers.
