As a result of a nationwide decision last year, sexual assault offenses pursuant to Section 177 of the German Criminal Code have no longer been counted as violent crime since October 2017. Rape and sexual assault in accordance with Section 177 StGB are still included in the violent crime figures. This may lead to lower monthly case numbers for violent crime.
