Total number of online identity fraud offenses in the Netherlands 2012-2017

This statistic shows the total number of online identity fraud offenses per 100 inhabitants in the Netherlands from 2012 to 2017. Cyber crime as a topic, so the source admits, has not yet been researched extensively in the Netherlands. The numbers provided, they state, should therefore be regarded as a first indication, as at the time of publication it was not yet possible to get a complete picture. One example of this can be seen in the "limited" definition of cyber crime used by the source: it includes identity fraud, cyber bullying, hacking and fraud whilst buying or selling online.

With this in mind, the source states that there have been 0.4 cases per 100 inhabitants of online identity fraud offenses in the Netherlands in 2017. This is roughly the same number as when compared to the previous year but lower than the value reached in 2012.
