Crime statistics for Spain are published annually by the Instituto Nacional de Estadística [1] . Different agencies of Spain and the European Union conduct analysis of the crime data in Spain. Statistics show that Spain is one of the European countries with lower crime rate, according to a 2005 Gallop Europe research study.[2] [3] [4] The rate of Contraventions and Crimes in Spain was 45,8 per 1,000 people in 2009.[5]
Law enforcement in Spain
[edit ]Law enforcement in Spain is carried out by the Guardia Civil, Policia Nacional and in some Autonomous communities also by their territorial police (Ertzaintza, Mossos d'Esquadra and Policía Foral). Some municipalities also have a local police department.
Drug-related crime
[edit ]Spain is the principal route of entry of drugs and narcotics in the European Union. Indeed, half of the cocaine found by law enforcement agencies in Europe was found by the Spanish police[6]
