Fact 7: In the Netherlands, the government has made significant strides in reducing crime, leading to a remarkable situation where there are virtually no inmates. This success has resulted in the closure of 19 prisons since 2009 due to a shortage of prison space. With only 163 registered criminals among a population of 100,000, the statistics highlight the effectiveness of the country's crime prevention strategies. The Dutch approach emphasizes rehabilitation and social support, demonstrating that a focus on addressing the root causes of crime can lead to safer communities and a more just society.
