RASI — Relatório Anual de Segurança Interna (annual internal security report)
A report the government compiles once a year from the data of all the police services and presents to parliament: how many crimes of each kind were recorded, where, and how many were solved. People cite it when arguing about crime in the country.
Where you come across it. In the news and in parliamentary debates about crime. The report for 2026, due out in 2027, will for the first time include the nationality and documentation status of foreigners.
It is a record of reported incidents, not of court convictions: a person who appears in the figures has not been found guilty.
