Regards 12/23 - Nearly 40% of violent thefts are not reported to the Police

The statistics on delinquency and crime produced by the Grand-Ducal Police are all based on the prior reporting of incidents by victims or third parties. However, it is well known that a significant proportion of crimes are not reported to the Police. Based on the results of the latest Security Survey conducted by STATEC in 2019/2020, this publication examines the extent of non-reporting in the case of theft and fraud against persons. Acts of physical, sexual or psychological violence, theft and fraud are far from always being reported to the police. The rate of reporting varies according to the type and seriousness of the incident, the socio-demographic characteristics of the victim and also more subjective factors linked in particular to the victim's feeling of safety and his or her perception of the means of combating crime.
