Registered crimes; type of crime, neighbourhood, neighbourhood, annual figures
Description
This table contains figures on the number of registered crimes per year. These are broken down by type of crime and by district and neighbourhood. Attempts are also included in the recorded crimes. For some crimes (e.g. murder/homicide), this results in a much higher number than the number of completed crimes. The data per neighborhood are presented for all years according to the neighborhood classification of 2023. This geographical refinement follows from the agreements made at the start of the publication of police figures in 2018.
The publication of sexual offences (including child pornography and child prostitution) is limited to annual totals per municipality, as agreed, in connection with the risk of disclosure.
Since July 2018, it is no longer possible to record multiple offences, which are related to each other (concurrence), in one registration. An example of this is a street robbery in which a firearm (gun possession) is used. If several offences occur in one registration, only the most serious offence was counted before July 2018.
As a result of this adjustment, a number of offences show an increase compared to 2018. This mainly concerns trespassing (10%), special laws (9%) including money laundering, arms trafficking (16%) including possession of weapons, drug trafficking (5%), violation of public order (8%) and other social integrity (9%) including insults. The increase was therefore mainly visible in the last 6 months of 2018. This adjustment has only a limited impact on the total number of crimes. For 2018, this causes an increase of around 0.5%.
The number of registered crimes fireworks 2023 is not final. In the first half of 2024, many incidents with retroactive effect will still be classified as crimes in this offence and included in the census.
