In 2021, the North Italian city of Milan ranked first in terms of crime rate. The capital city of Lombardy recorded roughly 4.9 thousand crime cases per every 100,000 inhabitants. Furthermore, the provinces of Bologna and Rimini followed with around six thousand cases reported, respectively. In Milan, burglaries in shops and thefts were much more common than in any other Italian provinces.
Frequent car thefts
The Southern province of Barletta-Andria-Trani, in the region of Apulia, was the place in Italy with the highest rate of stolen cars. For instance, roughly 697 cases per every 100,000 residents were registered in 2019. Catania had the second largest rate with about 656 reports. Nationwide, the three most frequently stolen car models belonged to Fiat, the leading Italian vehicle manufacturer. Moreover, a Lancia car model ranked fourth. This company was also part of the Fiat Group, which, however, only sells vehicle in Italy.
Mafia associations
In the last years, the number of mafia associations in Italy experienced a decline. However, there are still dozens of mafia-type organizations in the country. The Southern region of Campania was the place faced with the largest amount of crime associations. In total, 93 of such crimes were reported in Campania in 2018.
