Suspects; crime group, gender, age and migration background

This table provides data on registered and apprehended suspects of an offence registered during the reporting year, distinguishing by common crime groups, gender, age and origin grouping. The table shows the number of suspects of crime per population group in absolute and relative figures. The relative figure is calculated per 10 000 persons in the selected population. Personal data of persons not included in the Basic Registration Persons (BRP) are often missing. These persons are included in the absolute figures, but not in the relative. As the number of unique suspects per type of crime is presented per reporting year, the number of suspects per type of crime aggregates to more than the total number of unique suspects. A person who has been registered or apprehended more than once within a reporting year is counted only once in the total number of suspects. In addition, he is counted once in the relevant main group of offences for each offence he is suspected of. Example: a suspect of 10 burglaries and 2 violent offences is counted 1 times in Total number of suspects, 1 times in Power Offences and 1x in Violence Crimes. Data on registered suspects will be available from 2005. Due to the disappearance of the Recognition Service Systems (HKS), figures on detained suspects are available from 1999 to 2014. Status of the figures: The figures until 2019 are final. The figures for 2020 and 2021 are provisional. Preliminary figures give an underestimation of the final number of suspects. The provisional number of suspects in the most recent year is a few percent lower than the final number. Changes as of March 2022: Figures on the number of suspects registered for the year 2021 have been added. The figures for the number of suspects registered for the years 2019 and 2020 have been adjusted by compliance with information. When new figures will be available: New figures on the registered suspects will be available from the previous year at the beginning of 2023. In 2022, the CBS will reclassify the population by origin. The word migration background and the Western/non-Western classification are no longer used. The new classification of origin is gradually introduced in tables and publications, including this table.
