Current developments
The National Police is now undergoing changes in the data collection systems (including improving comparability between two existing data base systems). The data collected and presented by the police is planned to be expanded in order to include domestic violence (including cases on domestic violence that are not related to the Blue Card procedure). However no plans are made to include non-domestic violence against women incidents in the police statistics (in spite of the fact that for now no statistics broken down by gender exist on any other violence against women incidents.
