The report of the National Crime (OND), published on Tuesday, November 18, presents a mixed picture of crime trends in 2007. In partnership with INSEE, the observatory has interviewed more than 17 000 people on violations (theft, violence, insults, threats ...) they may have suffered last year.
The National Observatory of delinquency (OND) has interviewed more than 17 000 people aged 14 and over on violations they suffered during the year 2007, they complained or not. Each respondent was questioned about the theft, attempted theft and damage to the person suffered the previous year. The results of this survey called "victims" are necessarily different from the ministry, which amounted to crimes reported to police and gendarmerie. Moreover, the data are not comparable because the figures of the Ministry include some crimes not covered by the OND, such as financial crimes, while the NAO report identifies his side who are suffering or crimes or crimes like most damage, which are not taken into account by the Ministry.
The OND is a decrease in the number of flights. Thus 8.3% of French households were victims of theft or attempted theft, against 9% in 2006, down more than 200 000 thefts or attempted. This decline reflects the decrease in car theft, which are the type of flight the most common. Flights on individuals have also decreased overall, but with violence and threats remain stable (0.6% of respondents).
The acts of violence, not related to a robbery and outside the household, increase them slightly from one year to another (1.6% of respondents, against 1.5% the previous year). This estimate contradicts the figures from the Ministry of the Interior published in January, which pointed a decrease of 0.21% assaulted people. Indeed, official figures include only acts reported to law enforcement, while only a third of theft or attempted theft and a fifth suffered acts of violence are the subject of a complaint, according to the OND.
YOUNG PEOPLE FIRST VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE
The report also shows that young people are the first victims of physical violence, affecting 9% of men and 7.6% of women in the age group 18-25 years. The survey also measured by domestic violence, with women 2.1% and 0.7% of men who have been victims of such acts since 2006.
Beyond the numbers, the report also attempts to determine the factors of violence. Thus, domestic violence has affected 4.6% of women whose spouse is unemployed, against less than 2% of women in couple with a man who has a job. In contrast, men seem all the more victims of violence from their spouse is a graduate. Spouses of female graduates of higher education are three times more likely to report having undergone an act of domestic violence than couples with a person without a diploma. In general, OND shows that violence affects more people living in sensitive urban areas (ZUS), the unemployed and those separated or divorced.
Anxious to avoid any controversy surrounding the differences between figures from the Ministry of Interior and those of its report, Alain Bauer, president of the advice of the observatory, said that the two devices do not oppose " but "complement". However, differences in methodology preclude any comparison.
