The perception that crime is on the rise is widespread in Italy. But hey, there's data! I plotted data from the Viminale (via mappine.it) from 2012 to today on homicides, thefts, and robberies. They're below.

PS: Data is better than personal opinion and hearsay, but it's not the "Truth". It could be that crimes are being discovered less or that definitions change over time. But it definitely tells us that the common perception isn't obvious.
