Suspects; gender, age, migration background and generation 1999-2022
Description
This table contains data on all registered and arrested suspects of a crime registered in the reporting year and the registered and arrested suspects who have a residence address in the Netherlands, distinguished by gender, age group, migration background and generation.
The table shows the number of suspects of crime per population group for both the inhabitants of the Netherlands and for all suspects in absolute figures. The relative figure is calculated per 10000 persons of the selected population. Individuals who are not residents of the Netherlands often lack personal data. These individuals are counted in the absolute figures, but not in the relatives.
Data on registered suspects are available from 2005.
Due to the disappearance of the Recognition Service Systems (HKS), figures on detained suspects are available from 1999 to 2014.
Status of the figures:
The figures up to 2020 are final. The figures for 2021 and 2022 are provisional. Preliminary figures give an underestimation of the final number of suspects. The preliminary number of suspects in the most recent year is a few percent lower than the final number.
Changes as of February 2024:
This table has been discontinued. In 2024 new Statline tables on registered suspects were published. The figures in the new tables differ slightly from the figures in this table because in the new table figures on missing suspects recorded by the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee are no longer estimated. In addition, the dedoubling of suspects for the years 2020 to 2022 has improved and the most recent years have been updated. The new tables only present figures on registered suspects and no longer on arrested suspects.
CBS is moving on to a new classification of the population by origin. From now on, it is more decisive where someone was born, in addition to where one’s parents were born. The word ‘migration background’ is no longer used. The main division of 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.
When new figures will be available:
This table has been discontinued.
