Meaning of "subregistro"?

Hi,

I just encountered the term subregistro in a news article about crime and statistics on crime in Mexico. I can't find it in any dictionary. Using only context I would translate it as "the number of undocumented/unreported cases". Can someone confirm or correct that?

Unfortunately, I can't provide a link to the article as it was an article on paper and I don't have it in front of me right now.

maybe you could provide the sentence - mediterrunio, Jan 28, 2011
Sorry, I can't. I read that article a while ago and just made a note to research that specific word later, which is now ;-) - RobertoLeones, Jan 29, 2011

HI robrto, as it seems we are talking about underreporting here, that is , only a certain amount of crimes are actually reported.

Look at this link
