Prosecution and adjudication of crimes; personal data 2001-2022
Description
This table covers court criminal cases registered with a public prosecutor’s office, on which the Public Prosecution Service (OM) has taken a decision, and cases concluded by the court of first instance. The data can be broken down by type of suspect, migration background and age at the time of committing the offence. Decisions made by the Public Prosecution Service are broken down by type of decision. The court’s decisions are broken down by type of final decision and type of penalty. Cases joined by the judge at the hearing to another case are not counted as a settlement.
The table concerns personal data on the topic of prosecution and trial. The personal data relate to characteristics of the suspect/convicted person in a case. The figures therefore also relate to the related matters. The table is not unique at the person level. First, individuals in this table may appear multiple times in a year if they are suspected/convicted in multiple cases in that year. For example, a person can be a suspect in several cases that flow into the Public Prosecution Service in a year. Secondly, the case of a person may be counted in several stages within a year; for example, if the case flows into the Public Prosecution Service in the same year as the Public Prosecution Service makes a decision in the case.
Data available from 2001 to 2022.
CBS is moving to a new classification of the population by origin. From now on, it is more decisive where someone was born, in addition to where someone's parents were born. The word "migration background" is no longer used. The main classification Western/non-Western is replaced by a classification based on continents and common immigration countries. This classification is gradually introduced in tables and publications with population by origin. It can be decided that the origin classification will lapse for a StatLine table.
