This table contains figures on the number of registered crimes per month and per year. These are broken down by type of crime and by district and neighbourhood. Attempts are also included in the registered crimes. For some crimes (e.g. murder/manslaughter) this yields a much higher number than just the number of completed crimes. The data per district and neighborhood are presented for all years according to the classification of 1 January 2022. Since July 2018, it is no longer possible to record multiple related offenses (concurrence) in one registration. An example of this is a street robbery in which a firearm (possession of a weapon) is used. If several offenses occur in one registration, only the most serious offense was counted before July 2018. As a result of this adjustment, a number of offenses have increased compared to 2018. This mainly concerns trespassing, special laws including money laundering, arms trade including possession of weapons, drug trafficking, violation of public order and other social integrity, including insult. The increase was therefore particularly visible in the last 6 months of 2018. This adjustment has only a limited effect on the total number of crimes. For the whole of 2018, this causes an increase of approximately 1.0%. Since April 30, 2020, it is possible to report WhatsApp fraud (also known as friend-in-need fraud) via the Internet. This was immediately used extensively. In the months of May to December 2020, approximately 20,000 reports of WhatsApp fraud were made. The number of registered fireworks offenses in 2022 is not final. In the first half of 2023, many incidents of this offense will be retroactively classified as a crime and included in the count. Reports concern registered crimes for which a report of reports has been drawn up. Multiple reports can be made for each crime. Internet reports can only be made for a selected number of offenses and only if there is no indication for an investigation. Data available from: 2012 Status of the figures: The figures in this table are regularly updated. This may cause minor differences with previous publications. Updating the figures is necessary, for example, to be able to retroactively process the reclassification of municipalities or adjustment of coding. Changes as of July 17, 2023: Figures for June have been added. When will new numbers come out? The figures for July will be added on 15 August.
