Miami-Dade Crime Statistics

Posted on by

Dade’s overall crime rate dropped 5.2 percent in 2012, which is a big improvement from the year before when sex offenses, robbery, burglary, and gun murders were on the rise.

Florida is enjoying its lowest crime rate in 42 years; crime is down 5.7 percent even though murders and forcible sex offenses increased statewide in 2012.

In Miami-Dade, both murders and forcible sex offenses decreased last year as did virtually every other category of crime. The only offense with a steep rise of 32.9 percent in 2012 was pick-pocketing.
