Correctional statistics of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden 2001-2005

2007-03

Exact statistical comparability is difficult to attain given that law, practice and methods

of compilation vary between the Nordic countries. Even though present and former

members of the Nordic group of statisticians have tried to establish a high level of

comparability by carefully working out common definitions over the years, any

differences between the countries shown in this report still need to be interpreted with

care. The reader is therefore requested to note carefully the definitions and the footnotes

to the tables.
