Crime in Tagmatium

Crime in Tagmatium increased between the years of 1995 to 2005, from anywhere from 25 percent to 60 percent from the previous ten years and within all categories of crime. This was suggested to be due to either less repressive policing methods carried out under the government of Theodosios VI when compared to the Rule of the Admirals to more accurate crime recording. In the ten years following 2005, crime statistics showed a significant decrease but not to the levels under the Admirals. Some of this was due to the decriminalisation of certain drugs, such as heroin and cannabis. The murder rate in Tagmatium is currently 2.3 per 100,000 and it has fluctuated around this figure for the last 5 years, although it had fallen from a recent high of 3.9 per 100,000 in the five years before that. Prisons come under the responsibility of the Aroman Prison Service, which is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry for Justice, manages all of the prisons in Tagmatium. The prison population is 93 per 100,000.
