New Dutch juvenile probation data reveals key trends for 2025

Our website has published the latest quarterly data on juvenile probation, following the structure of the Criminal Justice Chain Monitor (SKM). The tables provide detailed insights into the juvenile probation system in the Netherlands.

The data covers the second quarter of 2025 with revised provisional figures and the third quarter with provisional figures. It breaks down the figures by type of probation measure, age group, and judicial district, offering a comprehensive overview of the system's stock, inflow, and outflow.

The SKM is managed by the Directorate for the Criminal Justice Chain, which falls under the Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security. Despite our efforts, the name of the current director leading this department remains unknown as of the third quarter of 2025, according to publicly available sources.

The published data aims to enhance transparency and understanding of the juvenile probation system in the Netherlands. It provides valuable insights for stakeholders to monitor and improve the criminal justice chain.
