“trust me bro”
Fixed the data souce for you.
If you ask me the numbers look better because the definition got changed.
What kind of theft? Petty theft? Break-ins? Swindling? Wage theft? Stolen ejections?
Many people pointing to the lack of source.
What I want to know is what "rate % change" mean?
What I want to know is what "rate % change" mean?
I assume, theft rate is something like amount of thefts reported to police (per capita) per year, % change means the relative difference between two values in percent, i.e.
[value(2024)-value(2014)]/value(2014)·100 %
= [value(2024)/value(2014)-1]·100 %
Um... Luxembourg? You ok bro?
(Source the map plz, but ill get in on the ground floor for memes)
Theft, for the purposes of this chart, is defined by ICCS0502:
“THEFT” (ICCS 0502) is defined as “Unlawfully taking or obtaining of property with the intent to permanently withhold it from a person or organization without consent and without the use of force, threat of force or violence, coercion or deception”.
INCLUSIONS: Theft of personal property (05022) where entry was lawfully gained; theft of personal property from a person (050221) or from a vehicle (050222); other theft of personal property (050229); theft of business property (05023); theft of movable public property that is not a vehicle (05024); theft of livestock (05025); theft of services (05026); Other acts of theft NOT involving the use of force or threat of force against a person (05029): theft of mail; theft by conversion.
EXCLUSIONS: “Theft” excludes Burglary (0501); Robbery (0401), and Theft of a motorized vehicle or parts thereof (05021), which are recorded separately. It also excludes possession of stolen goods or money; receiving, handling, disposing, selling or trafficking stolen goods; using stolen parts for producing other goods; concealment of stolen goods (0704); obtaining money or other benefit or evading a liability through deceit or dishonest conduct (0701); property damage (0504); theft of intellectual property (0503); identity theft (07019)
Missing some pretty basic elements: a north reference, a scale, and most importantly, a source for the data
north reference and scale? who's going to try to navigate using this map? it's just a way to indicate some stats by country
https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/databrowser/view/crim_off_cat__custom_19435784/default/table
Up is north. How is a scale possible on a digital image?
You can add a scale to a digital image by having a line on the image and labelling it with the distance that line represents on the map. You might have a line roughly the width of Cyprus and mark it 200 km, for example, and then no matter how big the image is for a given viewer they will always know how big 200 km is
However on this map it's definitely completely unnecessary, nobody is trying to figure out the size of Europe from this
Oh, of course! Thank you :)
What's the point of putting countries with no data on the map?
Is that... Meme Chad?
Wrong continent
