(Un)safety in Limburg

Since the start of this century, recorded crime in Limburg has deminished significantly. However, the sense of unsafety felt by residents has increased in recent years.

To tackle this sense of unsafety, more and more people are taking matters into their own hands: from keeping a watchdog to using neighbourhood apps, and from installing alarm systems to joining neighbourhood watch schemes. What about you?

Exhibition 'Across the border'

Based on the numbers, Limburg appears to be the most criminal province in the Netherlands. But what’s the story behind the statistics? The exhibition ‘Across the Border – Crime in Limburg’, on display at the Limburgs Museum from 4 April 2026 to 3 January 2027, looks beyond the numbers and offers an unexpected perspective on crime in this border province.
