What the crim_ prefix means
Eurostat groups datasets by an alphanumeric prefix corresponding to the broad statistical domain. The crim_ family covers crime and criminal justice statistics. Within that family, the suffix (here pris_age) identifies the specific table — its dimensions, frequency and breakdown variables.

How this dataset is used on eupublicdata
Each indicator above is a single variable extracted from the underlying Eurostat table, normalised to a one-row-per-(country, year) layout for cross-country comparison. The source values themselves are unchanged — we do not aggregate, recompute or re-weight; the figures rendered on every indicator page are exactly what Eurostat publishes for the EU-27 aggregate and each member state.
For the canonical metadata (dimension list, unit definitions, footnotes, revision history, EU-28 / EU-27 back-series alignment), open the upstream dataset on Eurostat. Country-level granularity and historical depth can exceed what eupublicdata surfaces here, depending on the breakdown variables the indicator was derived from.
