Brussels, (Brussels Morning)- In 2021, 152,131 criminal offences were registered in the Brussels region. That is a decrease of about 11 percent compared to 2020.
After a peak in 2020 of 171,313 registered crimes, that figure is falling again in the Brussels region. This ‘turnaround’ can largely be explained by the enforcement of the corona measures. The number of violations of the measures in the fight against Covid-19 was considerably higher in 2020.
