Contents

The development in the number of crimes ascertained and cleared up in the Czech Republic in 1998 and 1999 and percentage changes

Notes: Letter N in the columns “Ascertained” and “Cleared up” indicates that the crime was newly introduced in the course of 1999. It is not possible either to compare the data marked with an asterisk because there were changes in the Sections of the Criminal Code (generally it means that number of Sections under the relevant crime decreased since the new crimes were introduced).
