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 municipality/neighbourhood. Attempts are also included in the registered crimes. For some crimes (for example, murder/manslaughter) this yields a much higher number than just the number of completed crimes. The data per municipality are presented for all years according to the municipal classification of 1 January 2022.

Since July 2018, it is no longer possible to record multiple offenses that are related to each other (concurrence) in one registration. An example of this is a street robbery in which a firearm (possession of weapons) 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 show an increase compared to 2018. This mainly concerns domestic trespassing, special laws including money laundering, arms trade including possession of weapons, drug trafficking, violation of public order and social integrity, including insult. The increase was therefore mainly 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 caused 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.

Reports concern registered crimes for which an 'statement report' has been drawn up. Multiple reports can be made per crime. Internet declarations 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 of the figures is necessary, for example, to be able to retroactively process the reclassification of municipalities or adjustment of coding with retroactive effect. Figures on declarations and internet declarations are updated every quarter.

When will new numbers be released? 17 Oktober the figures for August will be added.
