Offences encountered; region (2012-2019)

The Safety Monitor (VM) is a biennial population survey on safety, liveability and victimisation. Attention is also paid to nuisances in the neighbourhood, disrespectful behaviour, prevention measures, the functioning of the police and the municipal security policy. This provides clear data on the (experience of) security at both national, regional and (lower) local level. This table focuses on the number of offences experienced by citizens personally and as private persons in the 12 months preceding the investigation. These are traditional crimes such as violence, property crimes and vandalism, as well as cybercrime. The data are presented for the Netherlands as a whole, the divisions and provinces, as well as for regional police units, police districts, police base teams and for all municipalities with more than 70 000 inhabitants. Among these municipalities with more than 70 000 inhabitants, the figures from the G4 and G32 urban networks and the other municipalities which do not belong to these urban networks are also included. The Security Monitor is a sample survey. This means that the figures shown are estimates, for which confidence margins apply. These margins are also shown in the table. The figures refer to persons aged 15 or over, unless otherwise stated. The survey was carried out between August and November of the reporting year. Data available from 2012 to 2019 Status of the figures: The figures in this table are definitive. When will there be new figures? No longer applicable.
