COURT STATISTICS BROKEN DOWN IN VARIOUS WAYS TO GIVE INFORMATION ABOUT OFFENDERS, CRIMES, AND MISDEMEANORS, AND SENTENCES.
Abstract
STATISTICS ARE PROVIDED FOR EACH YEAR FROM 1968 THROUGH 1972 ON NUMBER OF PERSONS TRIED FOR CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS. STATISTICS ON CRIMES ARE BROKEN DOWN BY RESULT OF PROCEEDINGS AND BY AGE AND CRIMINAL RECORD OF OFFENDERS. STATISTICS ON MISDEMEANORS ARE BROKEN DOWN BY RESULT OF PROCEEDINGS AND OFFENSE. THE STATISTICS FOR 1972 GIVE INFORMATION ON OFFENDERS' NAMES, SEX, AGE, PLACES OF RESIDENCE, MARITAL STATUS, OCCUPATIONS, AND CRIMINAL RECORDS. THEY ALSO PROVIDE INFORMATION ON THE NATURE, TIME AND PLACE OF THE OFFENSE AND THE RESULT OF THE PROCEEDINGS. THE 1972 STATISTICS ON MISDEMEANORS SPECIFY THE NUMBER OF PERSONS TRIED BY SEX, TYPE OF COURT, LOCATION, AND RESULT OF PROCEEDINGS. TABLES SPECIFYING OFFENSE DO NOT MENTION OFFENSES FOR WHICH NO SANCTIONS WERE IMPOSED. NORWEGIAN CENTRAL STATISTICAL BUREAU FORMS ON WHICH OFFENSES ARE REPORTED APPEAR AS APPENDIXES. OTHER PUBLICATIONS OF THE CENTRAL STATISTICAL BUREAU ARE ALSO LISTED IN APPENDIXES. --IN NORWEGIAN AND ENGLISH
