The statistic displays the results of a survey question by Ipsos concerning perceived and actual causes of violent deaths in the Netherlands in 2018.

Close to 45 percent of deaths through interpersonal violence in 2015 involved other forms of violence. However, the majority of people surveyed perceived firearms to be the most common cause of violent deaths, suggesting that there was a significant gap between perceived and actual causes of violent deaths in the Netherlands.
