Radical decrease in the number of homicides in Hungary

Abstract

In Hungary, the number of crimes recorded by crime statistics is surprisingly decreasing. Since its peak in 1998, the overall crime rate has fallen to less than a third. Within this, the decline in the number of homicides, which fell to one-fifth, is even more pronounced. Many people critically look at statistical indicators, and the authority’s accounting methods know the superior numbers. In my research, I examined this.
