This indicator shows the share of the accused resident population recorded by the police for common assault and theft under the Swiss Criminal Code.
From an integration perspective, a decrease in the accused rate by selected offences indicates an improved situation.
Please note: The results should be interpreted with caution as no socio-economic data apart from sex and age is available in the police crime statistics (PCS). This would be important for an in-depth analysis.
In order to compare a group that is relevant from a criminological point of view, the indicator shown here focuses on men aged 18 to 34 who live permanently in Switzerland.
