The 2025 security report presented by Moroccan authorities highlights measurable progress in several key indicators. According to the data provided, overall crime is said to have decreased by about 8 % compared to the previous year, with a more pronounced drop in violent crimes, estimated at nearly 12 % in major urban areas.
Crimes against individuals, a long-standing concern for citizens, show a notable decline. Recorded cases of physical assaults are reportedly down by approximately 10 %, while violent thefts are experiencing a decrease close to 9 %. Authorities boast an increasing resolution rate, now exceeding 60 % for certain categories of offenses.
This assessment also relies on an intensification of field operations. In 2025, more than 90,000 preventive interventions are said to have been conducted nationwide, particularly in densely populated urban areas. Targeted security campaigns have reportedly led to the dismantling of several criminal networks operating regionally.
Digital transformation is another central pillar of the report. Security services indicate that over 70 % of internal administrative procedures are now partially or fully digitized. The use of centralized databases is said to have reduced the processing times for cases by nearly 30 %.
. Cybercrime, however, continues to rise. Offenses related to online fraud, identity theft, and digital scams are said to have increased by over 20 % over the past year. In response to this trend, authorities announce the strengthening of specialized units and a significant increase in digital investigations.
Despite these positive indicators, the report acknowledges persistent territorial disparities. Some regions continue to experience localized security tensions driven by social and economic factors. The perception of insecurity, while generally declining, remains mixed depending on the areas and demographics.
Through this numerical assessment, Moroccan authorities aim to establish a narrative of control and modernization. The challenge now is to translate these statistical results into a lasting sense of security among the population.
