National Crime Survey 2022

The National Safety Survey is conducted annually from 2023 to 2026 and is sent to a random sample of the Norwegian population. The survey examines exposure to and concern about various crimes. The sample is drawn from the National Population Register before each survey and consists of individuals aged 16 to 84 residing in Norway. The purpose of the survey is to provide an overview of crime victimization in the Norwegian population and the public's concern about becoming a victim of crime. Existing statistics, such as crime reports, do not provide a complete picture because 1) concern is not measured, and especially because 2) there is reason to believe that a significant number of crimes go unreported.
