Data validation
The data go through a probability check in form of a comparison with data from the previous year. Explanations of possible big deflections in the distribution of key variables are looked for, possible by contacting the National Police.
Data compilation
Key variables are checked for valid values. Unwanted victim cases are deleted, e.g. cases with unwanted person category or victims of offences committed at Greenland or the Faroe Islands. The code numbers of the reported victim cases are converted to a Statistics Denmark-code, which is hierarchically constructed.
Adjustment
No further corrections of data than mentioned in "Data validation" and "Data compilation" are done.
