The Netherlands covers an area of 40,000 square kilometers, Norway covers an area of 380,000 square kilometers, and the Dutch population170,000 Norway.

First of all, the crime rate is not directly related to the territorial area and population density. For example, Venezuela ranked first with a crime rate of 84.44 in 20 16, and its population density was only 35.8 people per square kilometer.

Secondly, when did Norwegian prisons become overcrowded? In fact, in 20 16, the crime rate in Norway was 30. 1 1, slightly lower than that in the Netherlands (3 1.47). According to the announcement of 20 16 of the Norwegian Labor Reform Bureau, there are 43 prisons in Norway, holding about 4,000 criminals. On average, the number of prisoners in each prison is less than 100. Among these criminals, more than 60% have a prison term of more than three months, nearly 90% have a prison term of less than 1 year, and the maximum prison term is 2 1 year (which can be extended as appropriate). There is no death penalty. These include the perpetrators of the shooting incident in anders behring breivik (20 1 1) on July 22nd. The terrorist attacks included the detonation of a car bomb near the Prime Minister's Office in downtown Oslo, Norway, killing 9 people and injuring 30 others. Then there was the massacre on the nearby Uttar Island, which targeted the participants of the Norwegian Labor Party youth camp, causing 68 deaths and 66 injuries, and finally * * * caused 77 deaths. 20 12 On the morning of August 24th, the high-profile Norwegian "7-22" explosion shooting case was pronounced in Oslo District Court. A Norwegian judge announced that Breivik, who killed 77 people, was sentenced to 2 1 year imprisonment. )

There is news that Norway will lease Dutch prisons to hold Norwegian criminals, but this is caused by many reasons. Norway and the Netherlands are both high welfare societies, and the punishment for criminals is relatively light. In Norway, one third of Norwegian prisons adopt an open prison layout. These prisons do not have the high walls, fences, cages and barbed wire of traditional prisons. Instead, they are equipped with many living facilities, such as library, gymnasium, independent kitchen and gym, which look more like a community than a prison. Dutch prisons began to reform at the end of 16, and put forward the concept of people-oriented prison management. The living facilities inside the prison have even reached a luxurious level, and it looks more like a country club from the environment. Because Dutch prisons provide accommodation for prisoners, the assigned work can be paid, and many people who have no livelihood deliberately commit crimes and go to prison, resulting in overcrowding in prisons. The Dutch Ministry of Justice pointed out that each prisoner spends about 250 euros a day in prison. In 20 14, the Dutch government proposed to charge each prisoner a daily fee of 16 euros for up to two years to alleviate the huge prison expenses. At that time, there were nearly 1.2 1 10,000 prisoners in Holland. In order to cut expenses, the authorities closed at least 19 prisons in 20 13. The introduction of this measure has led to a continuous decline in the crime rate in the Netherlands in recent years. The rapid decline of prisoners has led to the closure of many prisons and the unemployment of thousands of employees. On this premise, the Netherlands and Norway signed a three-year prison lease agreement, and 240 Norwegian prisoners "crossed the border" to serve their sentences in Port Noch prison.
