Why is the willingness to report incidents so low?<\/span><\/h2><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Less than a quarter of all violent incidents in the Netherlands are reported to authorities, according to research by the Dutch Central Bureau of Statistics. \n\nNot only is this concerning, but it also shows that we have a major problem with so-called \u2018dark numbers\u2019 \u2013 incidents of physical or psychological violence that are never reported to the authorities that could provide protection, help and tackle the perpetrator\u2019s behaviour. Some examples of psychological violence are intimidation, threats, stalking, false accusations and constant complaining.<\/p>\n

This low willingness to report is not only seen in society, but also within organisations such as schools and companies. The message is clear: we do not have a good insight into the true extent and severity of social insecurity within our organisations. This is a big problem because without reporting, there is no action and without action, there will be no change. As for the perpetrators: they receive the message that the chance that they will be confronted, arrested and punished is not that great. The perpetrators have even less incentive to stop their violence.<\/p>\n<\/div>
