In 2022, crime rate in South Korea was 1,943 crimes per one hundred thousand people, showing a slight increase compared to the previous year. According to the source, the crime rate in South Korea had increased rapidly after 2000, partly due to the fact that several crimes under the special law were included in crimes under the criminal code. In recent years, figures have remained relatively stable.
