kriminalitetsrelaterte

Kriminalitetsrelaterte is a Norwegian compound adjective formed from kriminalitet (crime) and relaterte (related). It is used to describe things that are connected to crime, such as data, events, factors, or consequences. The term is common in criminology, sociology, law enforcement, journalism, and public policy, where it helps distinguish crime-associated topics from broader social phenomena.

In usage, kriminalitetsrelaterte appears in phrases like kriminalitetsrelaterte data, kriminalitetsrelaterte hendelser, or kriminalitetsrelaterte faktorer. It can modify various nouns to specify a crime linkage, for example kriminalitetsrelaterte kostnader (crime-related costs) or kriminalitetsrelaterte skader (crime-related injuries). The form agrees with the noun it modifies: kriminalitetsrelatert is typically used before singular nouns, while kriminalitetsrelaterte is used before plural nouns or when the noun is definite in certain constructions.

The term serves as a descriptive label that signals a connection to criminal activity, rather than making normative judgments about crime itself. Its use supports precise reporting and analysis by focusing on aspects that are linked to criminal behavior, the criminal justice system, or safety concerns. As with many technical terms, its exact scope can vary by context, so clarity about what constitutes “crime-related” is important in both research and policy discussions.
