2025年の特殊詐欺は深刻さを増しており、上半期だけで約1.3万件・被害額約597億円に達し、7月末には1.5万件超・722億円と、すでに前年の年間被害額を超えました。

特徴的なのは、警察官をかたる“ニセ警察詐欺” が急増し、被害額の半分以上を占めている点です。

一方で、検挙率は47.5％と刑法犯全体（約39％）より高めですが、依然として半数以上の事件が未解決であり、社会全体で警戒が必要な状況が続いています。

Special frauds are becoming more serious in 2025, with approximately 13,000 cases and losses totaling approximately 59.7 billion yen in the first half of the year alone. By the end of July, there were over 15,000 cases and losses totaling 72.2 billion yen, already exceeding the annual amount of the previous year.

Notable is the sharp increase in "fake police scams" in which people impersonating police officers account for more than half of the losses.

Meanwhile, while the arrest rate is 47.5%, higher than for all criminal offenses (approximately 39%), more than half of cases remain unsolved, indicating a continuing need for vigilance across society.
