Netherlands Shuts Down Prisons Due To Lack Of Criminals by Nobody: 6:35pm On Jul 09, 2013 |
While the early 1990’s saw an increase in crimes occurring in the Netherlands; in 2009 the crime level had dropped to a record low that the Dutch justice ministry has decided to close 8 prisons, cutting off 1,200 jobs within the prison. Low crime rates have led to an overcapacity in the country’s jails; with them now housing 12,000 detainees, although the capacity is for 14,000. The Netherlands are recognized as one of the safest countries in which to live in the world. Hardly any violent crime occurs, although due to the tourism industry, tourists are still often the target of pickpockets and bag snatchers. Occasionally, thieves may even end up breaking in hotel rooms and even cars. Anyone visiting the Netherlands should practice precaution and alertness, instead of being complacent about its low crime rates. Theft occurs mostly on public transportation systems, including the tram and trains, especially to and from the airport. Every year since 2004 has seen a drop in crimes in the Netherlands, with 167,100 criminal cases registered in 2011, 13% lower than the previous year. Traffic offenses which include speeding and parking cases, have also continued to drop consistently. Bike theft has also been a predominant problem which Dutch authorities continue to work on, with over 750,000 bikes stolen each year due to the country’s large bike ownership. In order to resolve bike theft, authorities have included new measures such as installing a chip in each one, and registering each in a bike registry.

Instead of closing down the prisons, they can export them to nigeria so that we can help them to over utilize it. 1 Like |

Can't Nigeria lease the prisons for 100 years tenure? We have over-capacity here and they are growing astronomically. Minister of Interior and his Foreign affairs counter part should work on a bilateral deal here, it's a great opportunity out there. |
