er kriminalitetshyppigheden højere i de yngre aldersgrupperend i de ældre. En befolkningsgruppes samlede kriminalitet påvirkes derfor af,hvordan gruppen er sammensat aldersmæssigt. Hvis man ønsker et samlet mål forkriminaliteten i en befolkningsgruppe, er det derfor nødvendigt at korrigere for,hvordan gruppen er sammensat aldersmæssigt.[...] Når der korrigeres for alderssammensætningen viser det sig, at mandlige efter-kommere fra ikke-vestlige lande har et kriminalitetsindeks på 244. Det betyder, atdenne gruppe har en overhyppighed af kriminalitet på 144 pct. i forhold til hele denmandlige befolkning, hvor indekstallet er sat til 100.[...] Ud over alder er socioøkonomisk status en faktor, der påvirker kriminalitetshyp-pigheden for en befolkningsgruppe.[...] En befolkningsgruppes socioøkonomiske sammensætning vil derforpåvirke dens kriminalitetsniveau, og i beregningen af et kriminalitetsindeks bør derderfor også korrigeres for den socioøkonomiske status.
