cases of theft were reported in the Philippines. This was the highest volume of focus crimes recorded in the country in that year alone. Focus crimes are considered severe crimes occurring with sufficient frequency and regularity.
State of focus crimes
The volume of focus crimes that were reported in the Philippines has gradually decreased between 2017 and 2024. Index crimes are those considered serious in nature and occurring with sufficient frequency and regularity that they are considered an index to the crime situation in a given area. This includes murder, homicide, physical injury, rape, robbery, theft and carnapping. Meanwhile, non-index crimes are crimes in violation of special laws.
Other focus crimes
Aside from theft, the Philippines recorded a high volume of rape cases in 2024. While the number of rape cases has shown a significant decline between 2023 and 2024, the volume of such cases remains alarming. In addition, cases of domestic violence and the prevalence of online sexual assault, especially involving children, are also some of the most alarming crimes in the Philippines today.
