13 Characteristics of the Dutch Statistics
No link between police statistics and prosecution / court statistics Counting units are complicated, in this regard voegingen (combining cases) is particularly problematic Statistics are Criminal Code oriented: Offence type can change No link with crimes as seen by public (or policy makers) Hardly any victim data
