Reports of missing persons increase, 29 thousand in 2023. 75% of the reports concerned the disappearance of minors.
The first week after the missing person is reported is fundamental for tracing the person. 14,159 people disappeared and were traced during the same year. The 2023 report introduced, for the first time, the study of "repeated disappearance reports", in which cases of people who disappear and are tracked down several times are analysed. The Office's activity has once again been directed towards an interdisciplinary and multi-sectoral approach.
