Quality assurance process

Accuracy
Problems. As the compiler of statistics works with already aggregated data, the accuracy depends on accuracy of statistical data provided by respective institutions. It is considered strong in cases of results of court or prosecution procedures and sanctions, but less accurate in case of data on victims, offenders and their relationship. For example, Holubova (the author of the Report) points out to inaccuracy of prosecution data regarding relationship of an offender and a victim based on insufficient categorization of data. In addition, she pointed out that inaccuracy might be caused also by lack of clear definition of competencies and responsibilities for data input.
Reliability
No information. As the compiler of statistics works with already aggregated data, the reliability is dependent on statistical data provided by respective institutions. The interviews did not reveal any issues of reliability as interviewers were not able to assess it as statistics are products of computerized system and they were not aware of the process itself.
Timeliness
Good. The statistical product is based on yearly statistics of respective institutions.
