  1. Does this count act per capital or equivalent money robbed per capital?

    Just asking as there is an ongoing case in HU, where ONE family robbed 1 billion EURs.

  2. Probably worthy of note, the proportion of immigrants in most of these countries has probably also increased substantially over the same period, suggesting that immigrants are not “responsible” for theft, as often suggested.

  3. Probably some legal change here in Finland – crime has been on the increase lately but nothing dramatic

    -82% ennyit számít, ha egy rablási eset bejelentéséről lebeszél a rendőrség, vagy lopásnak/kifosztásnak minősítenek.

    This is the complete opposite of what I’ve seen in the EU subs. Are recent robberies less likely to be reported, or is there some other reason why these stats don’t align with Europeans feeling much more likely to be robbed in real life?

    Hungarian stats are fake, our soviet style governent asks for soviet style fake stats from the statistics office

  7. As a robber, I can confirm. No more cash in their wallets, no longer worth my precious time. I know send text messages to seniors, promising them a quick buck if they respond asap.

    Someone is cooking the books, I got pickpocketed twice in Germany on a two week trip. Reported both, local police didn’t even write them down.

  9. The fact that Europe is evolving into a cashless society more and more is probably a big reason for this decline (in most places)

    But according to AfD in Germany, Le Pen in France, and Vox in Spain, Europe is in decline.

  11. Yer for Poland that is right.

    In the 2000s when I was there often armed robberies were frequent, usually being being held up at knife point. 

    Not to mention people keeping on stabbing eachother because they supported the wrong football team.

    Cannot remember the last time I heard of that happening in the city I go to though.

    Amazing what solid economic improvement will do for a country
