Security & Justice

Crime and victimization are important aspects of public safety and social well-being in Curaçao. The Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) provides statistical information on crime and justice through data from administrative sources and surveys of the population.

This section brings together existing crime and justice administrative statistics and findings from the Victimization component of the Enkuesta Sosial (ES) 2025, conducted between September and November 2025. The administrative statistics provide information on recorded crime and the work of relevant institutions, while the survey offers insight into households’ experiences of crime, perceptions of safety and the perceived risk of becoming a victim.

By combining these sources, the publication provides a broader picture of crime and victimization in Curaçao.
