Indicator Summary

The number of recorded cases per one lakh population involving crimes, including document forgery, document falsification, counterfeiting, fraudulent use of property markings, and related offences, is known as the Crime Rate of offences relating to Documents & Property markings. By falsifying or manipulating documents and property identifiers, these crimes erode trust in the legal, financial, and commercial systems without really causing physical harm. They have an effect on both individuals and institutions through monetary losses, identity theft, and the deterioration of the trustworthiness of official documents. They are frequently connected to white-collar crimes, fraud, and corruption. When evaluating the integrity of business, financial, and administrative systems, this indication is essential. A greater crime rate in this category points to flaws in the legal system, regulatory framework, and public knowledge of document security. In the age of digital transactions, it is crucial for governments to monitor these crimes in order to improve cybersecurity, digital authentication, and fraud detection systems. For individuals, it pertains to personal safety against identity theft and false claims, while for organisations, it represents hazards related to contracts, property rights, and brand protection. Reducing these crimes is a crucial indicator of institutional legitimacy since it improves investor trust, governance transparency, and ease of doing business on a larger scale.
