Qualitative Info

Previous reports indicate that the police and the prosecutor's office has statistics on various criminal offences only regarding cases solved  and not regarding incidents reported or complaints introduced with the police/prosecutor. We could not find indications that this practice changed. This makes it even more difficult to assess whether hate crime cases/incidents are under-reported disproportionately in relation to other crimes.
