Sorted by total, highest first. Every row is indexed to the last quarter complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that period had no data, or because the period cut it); the district is measured over the same months. Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in %; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. case files, last four quarters · Israel Police case files (data.gov.il, crime_records_data): offences against a person, against the body and sexual offences, case files opened, summed over the last four quarters, from 2023 (the 2021 and 2022 files hold about half as many case files in every city), in the city · city data · as of Jul 2026.
