> We blijven nog even in Münster en Utrecht. Vooral bij geweldscriminaliteit is het contrast pijnlijk: een Nederlandse opheldering van 37 procent tegen een Duitse van 82 procent.

"A bit more about Münster and Utrecht (1). The contrast is especially painful when we compare violent crimes: the Dutch solve 37% while the Germans solve 82%"

Explain that to somebody that got beat up in the streets after a night out for no reason at all. That the police is not doing anything at all to solve it.

1) two cities that are roughly the same size and demographic, so more comparable

Just a small/random additional tidbit...I'd guess that Münster is probably one of the cities in Germany with the most interest in good police work from a PR point of view because the German police university (Deutsche Hochschule der Polizei) is located there :)
Because it's a student city like Utrecht ;)
