💨 Abstract

Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum reported a nearly 40% drop in the country's murder rate since taking office in October 2024. The daily homicide average in December 2025 fell to 52.4 from 86.9 in September 2024, marking the lowest number since 2016. Sheinbaum attributed this success to collaboration between federal security officials and state governors.
