The objective of the project is to collect information, with representativeness both at the national and state levels (although only for the main ones in the second case), and to make it possible to make estimates on the prevalence of crime that affects the economic units of the private sector in Mexico. Additionally, with the ENVE it is possible to make estimates on the dark figure and the characteristics of the crimes committed, the victims of these crimes, the delinquents who commit them and the context of the victimization. As a complement to the information on victimization, with the ENVE, information is also obtained of the perception of the private sector regarding public safety and the authorities responsible for guaranteeing it.
The conduction of the ENVE 2020 was carried out from February 3rd to March 27th, 2020, with a national sample of 33,866 economic units. The reference year for the victimization is 2019, and 2020 for the perception of public safety and the institutions responsible for providing it.">
