European sourcebook of crime and criminal justice statistics – 2021
This is the sixth edition of a data collection initiative that started in 1993 under the
umbrella of the Council of Europe and has been continued since 2000 by an international
group of experts that created the European Sourcebook of Criminal Justice
e.V.1 and is also a Working Group of the European Society of Criminology. These
experts act as regional coordinators of a network of national correspondents whose
contribution has been decisive in collecting and validating data on a variety of subjects
from 42 countries.2
This edition of the Sourcebook is composed of six chapters. The first five cover
the current main types of national crime and criminal justice statistics – police, prosecution,
conviction, prison, and probation statistics – for the years 2011 to 2016,
providing detailed analysis for 2015. The sixth chapter covers national victimization
surveys, providing rates for the main indicators every five years from 1990 to 2015.
As with every new edition of the Sourcebook, the group has tried to improve
data quality as well as comparability and, where appropriate, increase the scope of
data collection. For example, offence definitions were updated to reflect the lessons
learned from previous editions.peer-reviewe
