Victimisation of online crime; personal characteristics

This table contains figures on the victimisation of online crime in the 12 months preceding the investigation. These include online scams and fraud, hacking, threat and harassment and other online offences. The data can be broken down by characteristics such as gender, age and educational level. 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. 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 15 March 2023: The extensive classification of education levels was not entirely correct. This one has been adjusted. When are new figures coming? New data appear biennial around 1 December
