Accuracy
Good. This is only one of two national organisation for women's shelters. There are also private and public ones. Therefore, the statistics should not be seen as reflecting the actual numbers of women in need of shelter, although tendencies should be reflected. There is no reason to believe that the 30% loss would differ the result in regard of the tendencies described above. Since actual numbers are not reflected anyway, loss is a minor problem in this aspect.
Reliability
No information. Since there is no regulation of the data registration, it is hard to make estimations on the product's reliability.
Timeliness
No information. Since the collection of the data is yearly and there is no control of how and when the data is registered, it is very hard to make an evaluation of the timeliness.
Comparability
- Geographical
- Over time
- None
The same core information has been collected for many years, making it a reliable source of info on development, complementing police- and justice data.
Current developments
They are working on a data base reporting system, that would make it possible to reduce the "human factor" faults and also to collect more data in a more timely manner. Administrative work would be minimised and information more valid, reliable and timely. Lack of resources are the main obstacle to this development.
