Majority of suspects in detected crimes last year were men, says CSO

Some 42,987 crimes were detected in the Southern Region — which includes Cork, Kerry and Limerick

According to the CSO, a crime may be marked as detected when gardaí have identified at least one person responsible for committing the offence and that person has been issued a charge or summons, a formal or informal caution, or a fixed payment notice. File picture: Denis Minihane

The CSO has released detection statistics for 2022, noting that they were equal or just below the 2021 rates.
