Victim support; by nature of aid 2001-2006
Description
CBS collects data on victims as part of the statistics on safety. This table provides an overview of the forms of assistance provided to victims of crime and road accidents. The data comes from Victim Aid Netherlands. This is a national foundation divided into 13 regional offices and 75 offices. 1,500 volunteers and 250 professionals offer practical and legal advice and emotional support. The aim of the Netherlands is to provide first care and guidance to victims of crime and road accidents. In addition to the first reception and support of victims, Svicofferhulp Nederland is committed to the interests of victims of crime and road accidents in general. Victim support not only provides support to victims, but also to witnesses, those involved, survivors and culprits.
Data available from 2001 to 2006.
Status of the figures:
The figures for the years 2001 to 2006 are final.
Changes as at 31 March 2017:
None, this table has been discontinued.
When will there be new figures?
No longer applicable.
Stop reason:
In January 2007, Slachtofferhulp Nederland (SHN) switched to output control. This means that agreements have been made with the Ministry of Justice about the services to be provided by SHN. In the years before 2007, only agreements were made on the number of assisted victims. What happened until 2007 was recorded, but from 2007 it is recorded which service has been offered. In concrete terms, this means that the three main categories – emotional support, legal guidance and practical services – are still being used, but that the subdivision by activity that existed in the past has largely ceased.
This table is followed by Clients of Victim Assistance; type, crime, origin, age and gender, see section 3.
