Suspects; urbanity residential municipality and type of crime 1999-2008

This table contains data on all people who have been arrested by the police as suspects of crimes and who also occur in the Municipal Basic Administration (GBA). Detained suspects whose personal data do not appear in the DPA are excluded from this table. The table shows by population group in absolute and relative figures how many suspects of crime occur. The relative figures indicate how many people per 1,000 people of the selected population are suspected of committing a crime. The population groups can be distinguished according to the degree of urbanity of the residential community. The suspects can also be distinguished according to the type of crime they are suspected of. Persons suspected of multiple types of crime are listed in a separate category. The data relate to suspects and not convicts. It is estimated that more than 90 % of the suspects are offered a transaction by the Public Prosecutor’s Office (OM) or are found guilty by the court at a later stage. The data on the suspects came from the police’s Recognition Service Systems (HKS). Of some people, the urbanity of the municipality is not known. As a result, the total number of suspects may differ slightly from the total in other StatLine tables. Data available from 1999. Status of the figures: The figures for the last year are provisional. The other figures are final. When new figures become available: This table was discontinued as of 11-2-2013.
