Safety experience; personal characteristics

The Safety Monitor (VM) is a biennial population survey on safety, quality of life and victimhood. 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. In this table, the perception of (in)security by the citizen is central. This is about the safety experience in your own neighbourhood and in general. The issue of disrespectful behaviour and discrimination is also discussed. The data are shown for the personal characteristics of gender, age, education level, urbanity of the municipality and welfare group. 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 years or older, unless otherwise stated. The survey was conducted in the period August-November. Due to changes in the questions and in the research design, the results of the Safety Monitor (VM) cannot be easily compared with those of previous victim surveys, such as the Integrated Security Monitor (IVM); 2008-2011) and the Safety Monitor Rijk (VMR; 2005-2008). For more information see section 4. Sources and Methods included research description Safety Monitor as of 2012. Data available from 2021. Status of the figures: The figures in this table are final. Changes as of 29 November 2022: None, this is a new table. When are new figures coming? New data will be published every two years around December 1st.
