Number of reported crimes in Milan 2018-2022
Between 2018 and 2022, the number of crimes reported by police forces to the judicial authorities in the municipality of Milan floated around 140,000 felonies per year. However, in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, only 95,000 offenses were recorded, with a sharp decline vis-à-vis the previous year due to legal restrictions to mobility and confinement rules enforced to reduce the spread of the virus. After the medical emergency, the number decisively rose to pre-pandemic levels.
