Beijing: China has consistently ranked among countries with the lowest homicide rates globally, with the rate standing at 0.44 per 100,000 people in 2024, senior police officer Jiang Guoli said Wednesday at a press conference.

According to Namibia Press Agency, the figures shared by Jiang Guoli highlight China's effective measures in maintaining public safety. The press conference aimed to emphasize the country's commitment to ensuring a low crime rate and the safety of its citizens.

Jiang Guoli attributed this low figure to the country's robust law enforcement mechanisms and community engagement strategies. He noted that collaborative efforts between police and local communities have played a significant role in crime prevention.

The press conference also addressed future initiatives to further enhance public safety. Jiang Guoli indicated that ongoing training for law enforcement officers and the implementation of advanced technology are expected to continue contributing to these positive statistics.
