Arminfo. Sharp growth of criminality was registered in Armenia in
2009, Head of Armenian Police Alik Sargsyan said at today's sitting
of Police Collegium.
He also added that as against 2008 criminality grew by 54,7% in Armenia
in 2009 (9271 - 14339). The number of the collective crimes has also
sharply grown in 2009 (739 - 1464). The head of the police especially
worries about the fact that 40% cases of the collective crimes were
committed by foreigners. This is by 5,7 times more than in 2008.
But Sargsyan thinks that sharp growth of criminality in 2009 is
evidence of the fact that new practice of the crimes listing was
applied, though earlier many people used to refuse initiating of a
criminal case. The total of 3129 such crimes 'accumulated' in 2009.
They were registered and became the reason of rising the indicator in
general in 2009. Moreover 3027 crimes committed over the last years
were also disclosed and registered in 2009. The number of such crimes
was 1505 in 2008.
Sargsyan also said that in 2009 the indicator of the crime detection
rate in some directions was also improved. At the same time, the
crimes detection rate connected with illegal drug circulation,
residential burglary, etc, fell.
