The Government of Javier Milei presented on Monday the data on various issues in Argentina during 2025, with significant decreases in homicides, thefts, and burglary throughout the past year.
The Minister of National Security, Alejandra Monteoliva, was responsible for the presentation, where the enormous improvement in security in the country since Milei took office at the end of 2023 was evident.
In the case of intentional homicides, the figures show a reduction of 7.3% in 2025, while the cumulative drop over the last two years reaches 18.4%.
The official data.
The current rate stands at 3.6 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants, representing a sustained decrease compared to the values recorded in previous years (4.4 in 2023 and 3.9 in 2024), making it the lowest intentional homicide rate in history for the second consecutive year.
Regarding murders of women, they decreased by 10.8% in 2025 and have accumulated a drop of 23.5% since the libertarian administration took office.
Moreover, the report positions Argentina as the country with the lowest homicide rate in Latin America and the Caribbean. With 3.6 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants, the country ranks below Chile (5.4), Paraguay (6.1), and the Dominican Republic (8.7), and far from nations with higher levels such as Brazil (19.2), Colombia (25.8), or Ecuador (50.9).

Significant reduction in thefts and burglaries
The improvement in security indicators is also reflected in property crimes. In 2025, both simple and aggravated thefts recorded a decrease of 21.6%, breaking the upward trend observed in previous years.
After reaching values close to 1,015 in 2024, the indicator fell to 796 in 2025, marking the lowest level since the pandemic in 2020, when the country faced a harsh lockdown.
On the other hand, burglaries also show a significant reduction. During 2025, there was a decrease of 17.4%, with a reduction in both the number of incidents and the rate per 100,000 inhabitants.
While in 2024 there were 372,840 cases with a rate of 80.5, in 2025 the numbers dropped to 308,523 incidents and a rate of 66.5. This decline consolidates the trend change in one of the most frequent crimes.
The data released, based on information from the National Criminal Information System (SNIC), demonstrates a widespread improvement in security levels and reinforces the success of the policies implemented since the beginning of Milei's current administration.
