Internal report of Dutch police / justice : there is probably 5 times more criminality as in the statistics.
I have read here, sometime, from someone, crime statistics are based on a survey in the UK ( instead of relying on the police ).
- vidarh 10y ago> I have read here, sometime, from someone, crime statistics are based on a survey in the UK ( instead of relying on the police ). Both. There are official statistics from the police and Crown Prosecution Service about number of cases reported, investigated, charged and outcomes, but there is separately a survey, which gives important additional information about whether or not people feel it worth reporting crime.
- edblarney 10y agoYes, apparently, 'victimization surveys' are actually a more accurate way of measuring crime than using the stats released by the state. i.e. 'have you been robbed in the last month or last year' etc.
