2020年以来、当地の抗議活動等に関する情勢は基本的に落ち着きを取り戻しています。ただし、2021年7月1日には、香港島の繁華街で警察官襲撃事件が発生しており、今後も、このような不測の事態のほか、記念日等に合わせて警察の許可を得ていない抗議活動等が突発的に行われる可能性があり、引き続き注意が必要です。

香港の犯罪発生率は高くはなく、比較的安全な都市であると言え、2025年の犯罪発生件数は89,137件で、2024年と比較して5,610件(5.9%)減少しました。

2025年の詐欺事案は43,212件で、2024年と比較して1,268件(2.9%)減少しています。しかし、犯罪全体に占める割合は48.5%と依然として高い状況であり、引き続き注意が必要です。

2025年の窃盗事案は20,032件で、2024年と比較して10.7%減少しています。スリ事案は前年比56.3%の大幅な減少、ひったくり事案も前年比23.4%減少していますが、これらの犯罪は誰もが被害に遭う可能性があり、また、近時は香港行きの航空機に搭乗した日本人から機内で窃盗被害を受けた事案が複数報告されているほか、同種事案の被害報道もありますので、窃盗事案を決して他人事と思わず、被害に遭わないようご注意ください。
