Deep dives
Nine questions that reported crimes alone cannot answer. Each has its own page, with the official data, the charts and an explanation of what the numbers count and what they don’t. Each card shows which stage its numbers come from: the police report, the time before the verdict, the trial, prison or sentences served outside it. A police report is not a conviction.
