„The costs and consequences for offenders of crime are well-documented, but much less is known about victim-related costs. Using unique and detailed register data from the Netherlands, this column finds that being a victim of crime leads to a significant and persistent loss in earnings and increase in social benefit receipt, and shorter-lived responses in health expenditure. While these findings have important implications about the social cost of crime, more high-quality data is needed to fill the knowledge gap and to learn about important policy lessons.“
