Description

The Safety Monitor (VM) is a biennial population survey on safety, liveability and victimisation. 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 citizens’ experiences with the police. It concerns contacts with the police and the satisfaction of the citizen with the police. The data are displayed for the personal characteristics of sex, age, marital status, migration background, educational level, sexual orientation and also for the total. 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 or over, 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 compared with those of previous victim surveys, such as the Integrated Safety Monitor (IVM; 2008-2011) and the Security Monitor Rijk (VMR; 2005-2008). For more information see section 4. Sources and Methods included research description Safety monitor from 2012. In 2019, limited changes were made in the question blocks ‘satisfaction last police contact’ and ‘judgment of police generally’. For more information, see the description of differences in the 2019 questionnaire compared to 2017. Data available from 2012 to 2019 When will there be new figures? No longer applicable. This table is followed by the ‘Social security’ table; personal characteristics’. See paragraph 3.
