In Denmark, the total number of people found guilty in crimes increased from 2018 to 2020 then decreased again in 2021. Especially the age groups 30 to 49 years and 15 to 29 years contributed to the decrease. There were around 3,000 less convicts in the latter age group in 2021 compared to 2020, whereas numbers for the former age group decreased by roughly 2,500. Figures for the older inhabitants (50 to 79 years), on the other hand, decreased by around 1,000 during the last year.
