196 <strong>Child</strong> PornograPhy First report oF the Dutch NatioNal rapporteur predominantly in 2010, a considerable increase can be seen. 455 According to the Public Prosecution Service, this recent increase is the result of a more intensive approach to tackling child pornography that has been implemented since 2009. 456 Concluded cases by type of settlement Figure 3.13 shows the ways in which the Public Prosecution Service concluded cases in the period between 2005 and 2010. 457 Figure 3.13 Concluded cases by type of settlement (2005-2010) 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 Year Joinder Transfer of proceedings to a foreign court Conditional decision not to prosecute Out-of-court selement Unconditional decision not to prosecute Summons On average, the Public Prosecution Service decides to issue a summons in three quarters of all cases 458 , 459 and the unconditional decision not to prosecute is taken in 14% of cases. The remaining types of settlement concern 11% of all cases on average. Besides this, a decrease in the number of out-of-court settlements can be seen (from 8% in 2006 to 1% in 2010) as well as an increase in the percentage of conditional decisions not to prosecute (from 2% in 2005 to 6% in 2010). This is an interesting development, considering the fact that conditional decisions not to prosecute can (partly) be employed as an instrument of influence. (see §3.6.2). 455 These figures differ to a limited extent from the figures that were published in the Public Prosecution Service 2010 Annual Report. The differences are probably the result of different reference dates and possibly other marginal selection criteria. The figures in the Public Prosecution Service 2010 Annual Report are therefore not based solely on Article 240b, but are also based on classifications (verbal information from the Public Prosecution Service, May 2011). 456 Public Prosecution Service, 2009. 457 Please refer to Appendix 4, Table B4.11 for the table containing the complete summary of this data. 458 Please note: it can be the case that the decision is made to issue a summons exclusively for offences other than child pornography. The condition applied to ‘Settled by the Public Prosecution Service’ does not set requirements for this. 459 These figures differ to a limited extent from the figures that were published in the Public Prosecution Service 2010 Annual Report. The differences are probably the result of different reference dates and possibly other marginal selection criteria. The figures in the Public Prosecution Service 2010 Annual Report are therefore not based solely on Article 240b, but are also based on other classifications. Besides this, ‘summons’ also includes ‘joinder’ in the Public Prosecution Service Annual Report (verbal information from the Public Prosecution Service, May 2011).
Implementation 3.5.4.2 Cases concluded in first instance in figures Research has not yet been carried out with regard to possible differences between the sentence demanded by the Public Prosecution Service and the sentence imposed by the court. 460 It has also not been examined whether or not increasing the sentence for child pornography cases has affected the sentences imposed, and if so, how. In 2009, the maximum sentence in Article 240b paragraph 2 of the Dutch Criminal Code was (as a rule) increased from six to eight years. 461 Number of cases concluded in first instance Figure 3.14 shows the development of the number of cases concluded in first instance in the period between 2005 and 2010. 462 Figure 3.14 Number of cases concluded in first instance (2005-2010) Number 400 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 Year 197 Number of cases concluded in rst instance Number of convictions/ convicted persons Number of non-suspended or partially-suspended custodial sentences imposed Number of suspended custodial sentences as the most severe main sentence Number of community service orders imposed as the most severe main sentence Over the period displayed, the court concluded 1796 child pornography cases in first instance. The annual number of cases concluded varies between 250 in 2009 and 354 in 2006. A decrease in one year alternates with an increase the following year. The most significant increase occurred in 2010 (39% increase in comparison with 2009). This is probably the result of the increase in the number of cases registered with and concluded by the Public Prosecution Service in 2009 and 2010. Cases settled in first instance by type of settlement Figure 3.15 shows the decisions made by the court with regard to the type of settlement for cases settled in first instance in the period from 2005 to 2010. 463 460 Not by the Council for the Judiciary either, frequently asked questions about child pornography, www. rechtspraak.nl (viewed 14 April 2011). 461 Act of 12 June 2009, Dutch Bulletin of Acts and Decrees, 245, entered into force on 1 July 2009. 462 Please refer to Appendix 4, Table B4.12 for the table containing the complete summary of this data (including index figures and the growth in relation to the previous year). 463 Please refer to Appendix 4, Table B4.13 for the table containing the complete summary of this data.
