Crime in France
Crime in France is combated by a range of French law enforcement agencies.
Though France's homicide rate fluctuated substantially in recent years, it tended to increase between 2020 - 2023 period beginning at 1.21 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in 2020 , 1.3 cases per 100,000 in 2021 and 1.4 cases per 100,000 in 2022 and 1.5 cases per 100,000 in 2023.
Drug Trafficking has been a growing concern in France for the past few years, due to the fact that a significant portion of murders in France is tied to the drug trade.
In 2024, 367 murders and attempted murders related to drug trafficking (compared to 418 in 2023) were recorded with a high proportion of young people involved in these crimes.
This decline is linked to the end of the war between two rival criminal groups in Marseille (DZ Mafia and Yoda), which were responsible for a significant proportion of drug homicides in 2023. This was a particularly bad year for Marseille as 49 people were shot dead and 118 were wounded, giving Marseille a murder rate of 5.5 per 100,000 inhabitants. About 80% of the murders were related to the rivalry between the two gangs.
In 2024, of the 176 people imprisoned for murder and attempted murder, "a quarter" were "under 20 years old," and 16 were minors. This phenomenon "particularly affects the southern half of France”.
Terror attacks have occurred in France, especially from the mid-1970s onwards. These include the 1995 France bombings, January 2015 Ile-de-France attacks, the November 2015 Paris attacks, the 2016 Magnanville stabbing, the 2016 Nice truck attack, the 2016 Normandy church attack, and the 2018 Paris knife attack. These attacks have been one of the reasons for the homicide rate fluctuation after 2014.
In September 2018, a police chief was stabbed to death in the city of Rodez. "The attacker was known to police. He had defaced the city hall door on 11 April," said Christian Teyssèdre, the Mayor of Rodez.
