Although in the first half of 2006 the rate of crime grew by 434 or
9.9 percent compared with the first half of 2005, state crimes went
down by 250 or 22.4 percent.
With the rate of crime growing, the rate of disclosure of crimes went
down from 87.6 percent to 83.8 percent. Along with the decline in the
rate of state crime the rate of disclosure went down from 757 of the
first half of 2005 to 517 as of early 2006. Cases of misuse of power
went up from 9 to 10. Of course, it is hard to believe that only 10
cases of misuse of power were reported in six months in the country
of the first decade of the 21st century but these are the figures
from the official statistics of the procuracy of Armenia.
By the way, according to Attorney General Aghvan Hovsepyan, the
reported 756 cases of trafficking in drugs are only a small part of the
real picture. The Attorney General did not say anything about misuse
of power but it does not mean that ten cases of abuse of power are
the real picture. Reporting in press over the past six months shows
the contrary. The procuracy also declines to say how many of these
10 cases were revealed.
In 2006 cases of assault on representatives of the government decreased
from 23 to 18 and crime against person decreased from 540 to 524. The
procuracy is again silent about the rate of revealed cases of assault
on representatives of the government. The rate of disclosure of
crimes against person decreased as well. Only 27 out of 540 cases in
the first half of 2005 and 22 out of 524 cases in the first half of
2006 were disclosed.
Along with the decline of the rates of the abovementioned types of
crimes, crimes against public security and crimes against public
health grew by 48.7 percent, mounting to 1072 from 721 of the first
half of 2006. The rate of disclosure decreased by one percent.
