Hello!

Thank you for your inquiry regarding crime statistics by nationality in Estonia. While we do have data on

individual cases, we do not compile or analyze this information to create a broader overview. Our

statistical records primarily focus on the nature and classification of offenses rather than demographic

breakdowns of offenders.

All the best

TÄHELEPANU! Tegemist on väljastpoolt asutust saabunud kirjaga. Tundmatu saatja korral palume linke ja faile mitte avada!

Good morning, hope this email finds you well.

My name is Martim Andrade and I'm a journalist from Portuguese online newspaper Observador.

Due to Portugal recently approving the inclusion of "nationality and ethnicity information" on the

annual crime statistics, I'm writing an article about all the other countries in Europe that share this

information as well.

The goal is to understand if there is a trend among nationalities and the types of crimes

committed, if it's a problem with the increase of migration, if a certain nationality tends to

practice a certain type of crime, among other things. With this, I would like to ask you, if you do

in fact take this information into account, how long have you been registering it? Why did you

decide to do it? Have you noticed any of the trends I previously mentioned?

Thank you so much for your attention and availability.

Best regards,

Martim Andrade
