On the morning of November 26, at the 8th Session, Minister of Public Security Luong Tam Quang, authorized by the Prime Minister, presented a report on crime prevention and control and law violations in 2024 (from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024).
According to the Minister of Public Security, the situation of crimes against social order continues to be complicated, with the number of crimes increasing by 12.53%. The rate of investigation and discovery of crimes against social order reached 83.48% (8.48% higher than the target assigned by the National Assembly); of which very serious cases reached 95.15%, and especially serious cases reached 97.08%.
Crimes related to corruption, economics, and smuggling continue to develop complicatedly in many areas in most localities.
The number of corruption and position-related crimes detected, investigated and handled was 20.55% more, the number of economic management order-related crimes was 2.4% less, and the number of smuggling cases was 8.25% more.
High-tech crimes continue to increase with many new methods and tricks of crime. Authorities have blocked access to over 23,500 websites and social media accounts that violate the law; prosecuted 1,521 cases and 658 criminals.
The situation of drug-related crimes and social evils continues to be complicated. The authorities have dismantled many large, transnational drug trafficking and transportation networks and drug dens; transformed complex drug-related areas at the grassroots level; the number of drug-related crimes detected and handled increased by 2.49%.
Detention facilities regularly disseminate and strictly implement legal regulations on temporary detention. However, the number of new and current detainees continues to increase and is at a high level, especially those sentenced to death.
Ministries, sectors and localities continue to coordinate, advise and organize cooperation with international agencies and organizations, and border provinces on crime prevention and control; human trafficking prevention and control; and drug prevention and control. Carry out citizen protection work, rescuing nearly 1,500 citizens from Myanmar to return home.
According to Minister Luong Tam Quang, the causes of the above-mentioned shortcomings and limitations are mainly due to the conditions for crime and law violations continuing to increase; the roles and responsibilities of Party committees, authorities, and heads of some agencies, organizations, and units have not been promoted.
Resources for crime prevention and law violation prevention have not yet met practical requirements; the capacity, qualifications and sense of responsibility of a number of cadres, civil servants and public employees have not yet met practical requirements.
