'Homicides Contained': Security Chief Gives Monthly Report; Guanajuato, Baja California, and Jalisco Lead in Murders

Homicides decreased 3.5% in the first six months of 2021 compared to the first half of last year, the federal government announced.

There were 16,937 homicide victims between January and June, a reduction of almost 600 compared to the same period of 2020, which was the second most violent year on record after 2019.

“Intentional homicides have been contained, they’re continuing to be contained and from January to June of 2021 they declined 3.5% with respect to the same period of last year,” Security Minister Rosa Icela Rodríguez told President López Obrador’s news conference on Wednesday.

Mexico recorded an average of 2,823 homicides per month in the period with a high of 2,997 victims in May and a low of 2,633 in February. There were 2,660 murders last month, a 7.6% decrease compared to June 2020 and an 11.2% drop with respect to May of this year.

Rodríguez noted that 50.2% of all homicides in the first half of the year occurred in just six states. Guanajuato, where several criminal groups including the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) are fighting for control, recorded the highest number of murders followed by Baja California, Jalisco, México state, Michoacán and Chihuahua. Rodríguez also said that 47.8% of all homicides in the first half of the year occurred in the country’s 50 most violent municipalities.

“Of the more than 2,400 municipalities [in Mexico], it’s in these 50 municipalities where homicides are continuing and an intervention is going to be carried out, [there will be security] reinforcement in these municipalities,” the security minister said.

“… We’re going to meet two objectives: prevention [and] programs. … In other words, prevent criminal activities and attend  to the causes of [criminal] incidence in targeted areas through welfare programs, the prevention of addictions and in general … joint actions that allow the results of investigations into cases to be improved,” Rodríguez said.

“… Everything is directed at the tranquility and peace of residents,” she added. Rodríguez also presented statistics for a range of other crimes. Femicides – the killing of women and girls on account of their gender – increased 3.3% in the first half of the year to 508 from 492 in the first six months of 2020.

The federal government has been accused of not doing enough to make Mexico safer for women, and some of the biggest women’s protests ever have occurred since López Obrador took office in late 2018.

Among the other crimes that increased between January and June were rape, up 32.6% compared to the same period last year with more than 10,400 cases reported; muggings, up 10.5%; robberies on public transit, up 4.9%; and drug trafficking, up 4.6%.

Among the crimes that decreased were kidnappings, down 29%; vehicle theft, down 12.2%; business robberies, down 9.9%; burglaries, down 5.5%; organized crime offenses, down 11.4%; firearms offenses, down 5.1%; and financial crimes, down 15.7%.

  2. Well this is what I assumed. I figured violence would max out or plateau in 2020 because 2020 was simply off the charts and chaotic and I predicted it would only go down after that but still not by much.

    5. 6:56 I knew I’d get a reply like this. Yeah no shit I’m not claiming to have special knowledge, anyone could’ve predicted this. My point was that it was predictable

    6. 8:21 not negative. I think anyone could’ve seen that the violence was going to cap out at 2020 not 2021

    9. 1:01 How? It made no logical sense. The article is right in front of us and I was making a point (in literal retrospect) that this was predictable to anyone following this stuff. I didn't mean to put apparent emphasis on the "I" part of "I predicted" but I didn't think people would be that "internety" here. I was just starting to like this place too.

  3. Some things to keep in mind, "femicides" only started being counted as a separate type of crime under this current administration. Now if you really want to talk about number cover ups, look back at previous administrations. We're just finding decade old mass Graves in places like Jalisco. I also predict with AMLO intervening in high homicide municipalities you will see more conflicts against groups like CJNG and ZETAS. Wouldn't doubt if Mencho goes down in the next 3 years.

    1. Don't be in denial, high homicides rates have been occurring during the time Obrador has served office. He does nothing about it since he gets BRIBES from Cartels.

      Delete
    2. @6:55 You keep saying he does nothing about it but 250 new military barracks and the militarization of ports of entry doesn't sound like "he does nothing" you wanna see an all out war in a land far from where you live... you my friend are immature. Join the marines, do some tours and experience war and let me know if you still have that same drive to beat them war drums.

      Delete
    3. 11:58 You have to see it to believe it. Obrador can say he will do something, but later he never follows through.

      Delete
    4. @6:43 let's share examples. Shoot me where he hasn't followed through and I'll show you where he has.

    5. 11:21 ALMO opened his mouth, I will be sending 1,500 Army troops to Michoacan Jacona and Moreila, I am still waiting, now that was a month and 1/2 ago
      Perhaps they are still playing cards and watching Novellas in the newly built barracks as you say.

  4. My azz homicides contained, what the hell his words, stop all deaths, give me a break who is he fooling.

  5. Paid propaganda and very possible financed crimes to make President for life AMLO look bad, 27 million dollars a month from USAID for Claudio X (Xoconostle) Gonzales to finance his ANTI-AMLO campaigns is behind all the BS fake news and disinformation, never involves the ones directly in charge, the governors and their state police death squads, the municipales and the myriad local private security corporations whose shit we eat on the daily news along with military zone commanders who never know whass happenin' while feeling the bites on their ass...

  6. Homicides down 3.5%- disappearances probably up 10%. Just moving data around to not look like the corrupt, incompetent fux they are.

    1. My thoughts exactly. They are just burying more bodies. AMLO, "if somebody missing you can not presume they are dead..."

    2. Yes kidnapping up in Mexico. People just pay if they can and don't report it. More of Amlo'S B.S.

    If CJNG had made this video public borderlandbeat wouldve posted it in a heart beat. But since its CDS it defeats the narrative.

    1. Thanks for letting us know! I believe two of the victims were from Matachíc. Do you have info on who they were or the perpetrators? I’ll get back to you if find out.

    2. @mx sorry I meant to say they were found in a road that leads to Los Ranchos de Santiago In Guerrero Chihuahua. And I do not know who did this or who the dead are. I am from over there, I will ask friends and family what the deal is we used too go too Ranchos de santiago too baptize our kids. I believe this is traced too the capture of El Harry. Or this could be a sign Gente Nueva Del tigre are moving in trying to fight La Linea. In Cuauhtemoc it's hot right now and so in la sierra South of it

    3. @mx in addition same day on Road La Junta To Cuauhtemoc two women were found dead. La Junta is also in the municipality of Guerrero

    4. I'm adding this story to the draft for either me or MX to cover, thanks! This is very interesting because I remember reading comments on the H7 Arrest story where people were saying that Guerrero municipality, Chihuahua was calm at the moment and that it had been that way for a while. So it seems like just in the last two weeks things have changed.

  10. How could homicides be contained, when the government is afraid to stop the cartels from killing.

    1. I can't stop laughing at
      Security Chief Rosa Rodriguez, statement that crime is contained . Give me a break. It's like forest fires burning only 10 percent contained. 90 percent not contained. But she would come out and say contained big liar.

    2. So true, such liars. Lol

    3. Who does believe her?

  11. What did she even bother making a speech, she made a clown of herself, the truth of homicides going on daily can't be hidden with a fake speech.
