Metadata
| Relevance/rationale of the indicator (resp. why the indicator was chosen to measure the target and how it is suitable for these purposes) | This indicator should measure the prevalence of victimization from physical, sexual (and, possibly, psychological) violence. It is globally relevant as violence in various forms occurs in all regions and countries of the world. Given that acts of violence are heavily underreported to the authorities, this indicator should be based on data collected through sample surveys of the adult population. Repeated sample surveys of this kind have not been carried out in the Czech Republic and only a proxy indicator is used which is connected to the reported criminal acts/deeds. The number of victims will always be higher than the number of acts and the proportion of the population exposed to violence will be higher, than data seem to be indicate. |
| Target value of the indicator and its evaluation | |
| Definition | The value of the indicator is reported by Police of the Czech Republic and data of Prison Service of the Czech Republic, Military Police, or GIBS (Inspectorate General of Security Forces) are not included. The Police of the Czech Republic has not registred the victims of criminal acts/deeds (in the sense of the Act on Victims, where a victim is anyone who has been harmed). Criminal statistic register only the objects of the attack, which is the state-protected interest against which the criminal attack is directly conducted. The object of the attack can be, among other things, persons, who are registered only for selected types of tr. activities (usually violent and morally criminal activity). There are a number of criminal acts/deeds where the victims are persons, but statistic registers another object of attack. The object of the attack is usually also the victim, but not every victim is the object of the attack. The subject of the attack and the victim cannot be confused. All Registered acts/deeds are reported where the the object of the attack is a man or a woman from the age of 0+ and be committed in the Czech republic. Acts/deeds that directly lead to death (e.g. murder, manslaughter) are not included, there are are part of another indicator. One criminal act/deed could be committed by several perpetrators, also one perpetrator could commit multiple acts/deeds. A registered deed is a criminal offense that is committed on the territory of the Czech Republic and is initiated in accordance with § 158/3 tr. in the given period (it does not matter the date of the crime). If specific characteristics of the object of the attack are considered (here: age), unidentified persons are not included. Following crimes are included within the category of physical, sexual and psychological violence: actual bodily harm (TSK 151 §145-146a), dangerous threats (TSK 173 §353), dangerous persecution (TSK 174 §354), extortion (TSK 181 §175), restriction and deprivation of freedom (TSK 182 §170,171), abuse of a person living in a common household (TSK 186 §199), oppression (TSK 188 §177), rape (TSK 201 §185), sexual coercion (TSK 202 §186), sexual abuse in dependence (TSK 211 §187/2), other forms of sexual abuse (TSK 212 §187/1, 3, 4), commercial form of sexual abuse in dependence (TSK 213 §187/2), commercial form of other sexual abuse (TSK 214 §187/1, 3, 4), actual bodily harm by human illness (TSK 252 §145, 146, 152), procuration (TSK 271 §189), human trafficking (TSK 281 §168), other moral offenses (TSK 290 §190, 192 - 194), prostitution endangering the moral development of children (TSK 291 § 190), child pornography and abuse of a child for it (TSK 292 § 192, 193), participation in a pornographic performance (TSK 293 § 193a), making unlawful contact with a child (TSK 294 § 193b), double marriage (TSK 295 § 194), enticement to sexual intercourse (TSK 296, 297 § 202/1,2,3). |

| Comment | Data for indicator 16.1.3 are not available according to the relevant UN methodology. Therefore, a proxy indicator was designed, which can be used as a substitute for reporting indicator 16.1.3. The value of the proxy indicator is reported for the previous statistical year, ie from 1.1. to 31.12. Due to the reconstruction of the crime statistics of the Police of the Czech Republic, data for the years 2016–2018 are not given. For the same reason, older data are also not shown, as it is not possible to reproduce the data before the given reconstruction according to the methodology after 2018. |
