Could we have this with a Y axis starting on 0 and also maybe a larger timeframe?
This is true for most of the Western world. Life is getting easier for most, so there is much less benefit in displaying deviant behaviour.
Reported* crimes
Trust in the police declined, people are not declaring crimes any longer.
well i haven’t been threatened with a plastic spoon lately so this must be true
There’s a difference between reported crime and non reported crime. I suspect people are just complacent towards reporting crime now due to them not being investigated
Most misleading graph of the year lol
2023 and 2024?
Unsurprising how instead of accepting the facts, conservative flamands will just choose to ignore it and keep yelling about high crime rates.
But but but I keep hearing all the VB supporters ranting about the increase in crime from immigrants/s
Yeah, this is a bullshit way to interpret this data.
There’s never been more issues with online scamming and even today in the news they mentioned the police of Brussels South getting federal reinforcement because they can’t handle the drug criminals on their own.
Edit: didn’t read the in Flanders part, so the example about Brussels isn’t relevant.
lmao that Covid peak, to think it’s considered less than the Flu now FOD Justice:
Ofcourse it’s getting safer, even in the big cities. Just anytime something happens now it’s immediately in the media on the frontpage, making it seems more is happening.
i know it says “source: federal police”. But can we at least have the source of this article or webpage or … Anything?
I’m pretty sure covid times have had a huge impact on crime. But this seems a bit “too good to be true”. Especially with 2022 not “picking up the slack”.
The 2018 and 2021 defo had a huge impact on drugs with the breach of sky-ecc, encrochat and anom encryption tools, but i can’t believe that cybercrime hasn’t picked up the shift :p
I doubt we have less crimes. I just think most crimes aren’t being reported anymore. For example, someone damaging your car/getting it scratched. People nowadays don’t really care about it anymore because contacting the police will make NO difference.
Check OP’s post history and that’s all there is to say. He is also the guy that posted about KBC profits being so high and complaining about people being against immigration as if the two subjects are related.
There’s no bias or intention at all with this post :). But when it’ll be ACAB-time again then we can’t trust police numbers right?
Damn, we were quite the rebels in 2020. Sitting on public benches and stuff.
Either the police get worse or the crime gets better
Correction to the title: *Amount of reported* crimes constantly declining in Flanders (..)
Basically it went from 7,5 to 6,5%.
And yet the prison population keeps growing? Also, why start in 2014? Try starting in the 1950s.
They are counting COVID fines (GAS-boete?) as a crime?
maybe there are less cops?
And how many types of crimes are no longer included in these statistics?
Is the big jump 2019-2020 Covid related?
“But I saw more crimes on social media”
Yeah with introduction of social media and everyone having smartphones. The 65/1000 crimes we see now gets amplified a lot. Or if there is too little crime left to show, just reuse footage of 2014 or something and create the narrative it is happening now.
I see Antwerp is finally independent
Less Police, means less PV’s, means less crime rate reported. Even here in our city sometimes they are reluctant to write a PV for smaller crimes.
are these actual estimated crimes, or only the reported ones?
Or did people gave up on reporting smaller crimes?

FOr people asking for more info. Cause OP didn’t bother to add more info to their graph. Here you go [https://www.police.be/annualreport-federalpolice/en/archives](https://www.police.be/annualreport-federalpolice/en/archives)
Take this graph with a pinch of salt as it isn’t the best representation of showing a decline in crime.
To the geniuses saying it’s just underreporting: try and get anything done from an insurance company without a police report.
Correction: **Reported** crime.
I find this odd, because overall we’re still in 3rd place for europe (2023). See https://www.numbeo.com/crime/rankings_by_country.jsp?title=2023®ion=150
