TABLES CHART (1) HOW VARIOUS TYPES OF CRIMES ARE DISTRIBUTED OVER AGE GROUPS, (2) THE GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION OF THE OFFENDERS ACCORDING TO THEIR AGE, (3) KINDS OF PUNISHMENT RECEIVED FOR DIFFERENT CRIMES, AND (4) THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SENTENCES GIVEN BY THE DIFFERENT COURTS IN THE COUNTRY. --IN DUTCH.
