Police officers are too busy with mobile speed controls. They don't (dare) arrest anybody who's foul-mouthing them in their face. They have become laughing stock.
Crime sentences (duration) are deplorable. Solved crime rates are way too low.
The Police manpower is on par with the UK. And the amount of prisoners / 100.000 inhabitants is on par with Germany. See sources in my other comment.
A little dated, but it surely shows a trend which has only gotten worse over the past years.
It has a comparison between The Netherlands and Germany.

The goal should not be to lock people up, the goal should be to prevent crime.
Being an ill-tempered individual doesn't make one a criminal. Nor should it.
