Civilians and police; region (2012-2019)
Description
The Safety Monitor (VM) is a biennial population survey on safety, quality of life and victimhood. Attention is also paid to nuisance in the neighbourhood, disrespectful behaviour, prevention measures, the functioning of the police and municipal security policy. As a result, figures are obtained in a clear way about the (experience of) security at both national, regional and (lower) local levels.
This table focuses on the experiences of citizens with the police. It concerns contacts with the police and the citizen’s satisfaction with the police. The data are shown for the Netherlands in total, the parts of the country and provinces, as well as for regional police units, police districts, police base teams and for all municipalities with more than 70 000 inhabitants. Of these municipalities with more than 70 000 inhabitants, the figures of the G4 and G32 urban networks and the other municipalities not included in these urban networks are also included.
The Safety Monitor is a sample survey. This means that the figures shown are estimates, for which reliability margins apply. These margins are also included in the table. The figures refer to persons aged 15 years or older, unless otherwise stated. The survey was conducted in the last quarter of the year.
Due to changes in the questions and in the research design, the results of the Safety Monitor (VM) cannot be easily compared with those of previous victim surveys, such as the Integrated Security Monitor (IVM); 2008-2011) and the Safety Monitor Rijk (VMR; 2005-2008). For more information see section 4. Sources and Methods included research description Safety Monitor as of 2012.
In 2019, limited changes were made in the question blocks ‘satisfaction last police contact’ and ‘judgment functioning police generally’. For more information see the description of differences in the questionnaire 2 019 as set out in point 4 above.
