Publication date: 14 August 2020

The Committee on legal statistics and special records of the General Prosecutor's office of the Republic of Kazakhstan analyzed data on crime in cities of national significance and regional centers, taking into account the level of registered criminal offenses per 100 thousand population.
The most criminal cities are Kostanay (1996 criminal offenses per 100 thousand population), Kokshetau (1961), Almaty (1571), Ust-Kamenogorsk (1665).
However, each region has its own characteristics.
For example, in Almaty, there is a high level of theft (845.12) and robbery (39.94).
In General, over the past five years, the city of Almaty has maintained a high level of these crimes.
Uralsk is characterized by a high level of theft (595) and robbery (44.7).
The highest murder rate is observed in Pavlodar (9.5), Karaganda (6.9) and Taraz (8.6).
High level of rape in Aktau (8.9), robbery in Ust-Kamenogorsk (40.4), hooliganism in Aktobe (40.1), fraud in Petropavlovsk (320.1).
There is a particularly high level of hooliganism in Kokshetau (58.1), as well as a high level of robbery in Kostanay (10.9) and drug crimes in Aktau (162.1).
Statistics on crime in absolute numbers, taking into account population dynamics associated with natural growth or internal migration, do not fully reflect the situation.
Within the framework of these data, there is a relatively favorable criminal situation in the city of Turkestan.
