The police chief of Marseille is preparing to leave her post, paradoxically leaving delinquency, particularly street crime, globally in decline. Despite this image of a dangerous city, they are even better than in the rest of the country.
All indicators are on the decline – apart from domestic violence, sexual assault and theft from or from vehicles. Even with the riots at the beginning of summer, during which 500 stores were looted, Marseille police officers in July took sick leave after the incarceration of one of their colleagues.
