About Crime in Mexico City
Created by Diego Valle-Jones
HoyoDeCrimen was created out of the urgent need to provide a clear and accessible tool to understand the reality of crime in Mexico. Faced with an overload of biased information and a lack of reliable data available to everyone, I decided to build a space where citizens can visualize, analyze, and share real data about violence, with the goal of fostering greater social awareness and promoting evidence-based solutions.
The source of crime data is the FGJ-CDMX and/or FOIA requests. The shapefiles for the cuadrantes come from the Secretaría de Seguridad Ciudadana (SSC) and the colonias are from the Instituto Electoral de la Ciudad de México. The population figures are based on the 2020 Census by Manzana.Our Mission:
- To provide easy access to reliable and up-to-date crime data for Mexico City.
- To empower residents with the information they need to make informed decisions about their safety.
- To foster open communication and collaboration between residents and authorities.
We leverage the Mexico City government's open data initiative to deliver the most current crime information available. This data is presented in a user-friendly format, allowing you to see what crimes are happening, where they are happening, and track trends over time.
Our Commitment:We are committed to providing accurate and unbiased information. We do not sensationalize crime, but rather strive to present the facts in a clear and concise way.
Community:Hoyodecrimen.com is a community resource, and we value your input. If you have any questions, suggestions, or feedback, please don't hesitate to contact us.
¡Juntos hagamos de la Ciudad de México un lugar más seguro! (Together, let's make Mexico City a safer place!)
