Indonesia: crime and justice

What is Indonesia's murder rate?

Indonesia recorded 0.3 intentional homicides per 100,000 people in 2022, according to the World Bank's intentional homicides indicator, based on UNODC data. The previous value in the series is 0.6 for 2004.

The figure counts deaths deliberately caused by another person, as reported by national authorities. Homicide is often used to compare countries because deaths are more consistently recorded than other crimes, but low rates can also reflect under-recording. The long gap in the series means trends cannot be read from it.

How many cases of violence against women are reported in Indonesia?

376,529 cases of gender-based violence against women were recorded in Indonesia in 2025, 14.07% more than in 2024, according to the CATAHU 2025 annual record of the National Commission on Violence against Women (Komnas Perempuan).

337,961 cases, or 89.76%, took place in the personal sphere, such as marriage and intimate relationships. The commission compiles data from 97 institutions and says the rise reflects more reporting and wider documentation as well as violence itself. Sexual violence was the most common form in complaints made directly to the commission.

How does Indonesia score on control of corruption?

Indonesia scored −0.51 on the World Bank's control of corruption estimate for 2025, on a scale running from about −2.5 to +2.5, compared with −0.56 in 2024 and −0.45 in 2023.

The estimate is part of the Worldwide Governance Indicators, which combine surveys of businesses, households and experts on perceptions of corruption. It measures perceptions rather than prosecuted cases, and the margins of error mean small changes between years may not be meaningful. Corruption cases are investigated by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), the police and the Attorney General's Office.

How does Indonesia score on the rule of law?

Indonesia scored −0.25 on the World Bank's rule of law estimate for 2025, on a scale running from about −2.5 to +2.5, compared with −0.21 in 2024 and −0.10 in 2023.

The estimate, part of the Worldwide Governance Indicators, reflects perceptions of contract enforcement, property rights, the police and the courts, and the likelihood of crime and violence. It combines many sources, each with a margin of error, so it is best read as a broad indication rather than a precise ranking.

Where can I find Indonesia's official crime statistics?

No official crime figures could be read for this page. Indonesia's crime statistics are published annually by Statistics Indonesia in its Criminal Statistics (Statistik Kriminal) report on the BPS website, which did not allow automated reading when checked on 14 October 2026. The figures draw on police records and household surveys of crime victims.

The National Police (Polri) also publish crime data through their criminal information centre, but its website could not be reached when checked. For homicide, the World Bank publishes UNODC-based figures: 0.3 per 100,000 people in 2022.
