«Rates of sexual assault in the EU
When comparing statistics in the EU it is important to bear in mind that countries record data differently and state laws vary greatly on what constitutes rape, so figures show the number of crimes that are reported—not committed.
Relative to the population of each country, police in England and Wales recorded the highest number of violent sexual offences per hundred thousand inhabitants in 2015 (130), followed by Sweden (120) and Belgium (nearly 66).
Sweden's National Council for Crime Prevention has previously explained why there is a rise in reported sex offences in the decade leading up to 2015, saying legislation on rape was made tougher in 2005 and 2013. Changes included classifying certain acts of sexual exploitation as rape, as well as cases where "the victim reacts passively”.»
