Abstract
The topic of the contribution is the “mapping” of information sources on registered crime in the member states of the European Union. More detailed attention is paid to the situation in three countries – Denmark, Ireland, and Luxembourg, while the countries neighbouring the Czech Republic and indicatively also some other countries (Hungary, Norway, and Croatia) are taken into account. Among other things, the structure of statistics, the emphasis on some important variables, and the applicability of related findings for the Czech Republic are also monitored (not only in terms of form and content, but also in terms of the spectrum, frequency, and user-friendliness of the information). Readers are also provided with some trends regarding registered crime in the monitored countries.
Keywords: Registered crime, statistics, user friendliness, comparison, inspiration, trends.
