- Insufficient instructions

Main results:
Coding errors have resulted in large flaws in the downstream statistics
The level of detail used in the statistics was not adapted to the quality of the raw data
Results were similar to a previous quality study regarding reported offences
Brottsförebyggande rådet www.bra.se
Quality in register-based statistics
Not enough to monitor indata in regular controls
Not enough with close collaboration
More in-depth quality controls are needed

Swedish crime statistics1. Quality indicators – management- The quality of the classifications- The quality of the registration instructions- Routines to inform the statistical producer
on changes- Common work groups with the statistical
producer
2. Quality indicators – operations- Variations between administrative units- Variations over time- Special attention to free-text options- Differing interpretations among registering
personnel
