Crimes recorded by the police by by offence category

Описание

Annual data on crime and criminal justice are now collected through the joint Eurostat-UNODC data collection and data for 2008 onwards are available in the following Eurobase data sets: crim_off_cat, crim_hom, crim_just, crim_crt and crim_pris.  The data in Eurobase data set crim_h relate to national data on crime up to 2007 (offences recorded by the police - total crime, homicide, violent crime, robbery, domestic burglary, theft of a motor vehicle, drug trafficking), the number of police officers and the prison population are available at country level for European Union Member States, EFTA countries, EU Candidate countries, and EU Potential Candidates. Data on homicide is also available by capital cities (police areas) in these countries. The data in crim_h were collected from EU Member States using a different Eurostat questionnaire and different definitions. As a result the figures are not directly comparable with the national data published from 2008.   Data for the United Kingdom (England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) appears separately owing to the existence of three separate jurisdictions. The data come from official sources in the countries such as the National Statistics Office, the National Prison Administration, the Ministries of the Interior or Justice and the Police. Calendar year or national financial year data are provided in absolute numbers. No statistical adjustments are carried out.   National data sets: Crimes recorded by the police (crim_gen) Crimes recorded by the police: homicide in cities (crim_hom_city) Crimes recorded by the police: historical data (total crime) 1950-2000 (crim_hist) Police officers (crim_plce) Prison population (crim_pris) Prison population: historical data 1987-2000 (crim_pris_hist)   Regional data set: For 2008, 2009 and 2010 only, data on domestic burglary, homicide, robbery and theft of motor vehicle are available at a regional level. The data were collected from countries using the definitions in the previous Eurostat questionnaire. The data are available for the European Union Member States, EFTA countries, EU Candidate countries and EU Potential candidates. Please note that unless otherwise specified, the reference metadata apply to both regional and national metadata. Crimes recorded by the police – NUTS 3 regions 2008-2010 (crim_gen_reg)
