Abstract

In this article I focus on the trends in security, safety and criminal justice in the Netherlands which emerged from 23 volumes in Dutch on Police, Armed Forces, Safety and Security, Detention, Enforcement, Judiciary, Fire Brigades, Forensic Sciences, Terrorism, Crisis, Crime, Intelligence and Security Services, Crises in the Netherlands, Risk, Integrity, Mayor, Enforcement, Acute Medical Care, Conflict, Fraud, Violence and Veteran issues. In eight propositions I formulate my perspective on safety, security and criminal justice in general and more specifically in the Netherlands. The extent and intensity of safety and security and the way they are ensured are key indicators of the quality of a society.

This article is based on and cites from Muller, E. R. (Ed.) (2012). Veiligheid: Veiligheid en veiligheidsbeleid in Nederland, Deventer: Kluwer 2012, chapter 26 and Muller, E. R. (2012). Security, safety and criminal justice in the Netherlands: An organisational and legal perspective, Deventer: Kluwer chapter 13 without specific citations.
