AB Long term trends in violent crime in the Netherlands are analysed on the basis of crime rates, medical statistics and victim-surveys. After having pointed out problems of interpretation and the influence of theoretical presuppositions, the author concludes that from the middle of the 19th century until the 1970s the level of violent crime remained rather stable. In the interpretation of the recent rise of violent crime rates a distinction is made between instrumental and impulsive (affectional) violence. It seems that especially instrumental violence (in order to gain material goods) was practised more often while, on the contrary, impulsive violence met with more resistance.
