> But in reply, I would say that the paper[1] linked to doesn't name these countries and it is more than 20 years out of date (the paper cites a European Council that took place in 1999 for this claim) It cites the "European Sourcebook of Crime and Criminal Justice Statistics". I can't find that specific version. Here's the 30.11.2021 version - https://wp.unil.ch/europeansourcebook/files/2021/12/ESB_Online_Stable_211202.pdf https://wp.unil.ch/europeansourcebook/files/2021/12/ESB_Onli... and it lists some of the differences in "rape" between different countries in Europe. Furthermore, it states: > For example, 16 countries stated that they apply a principal offence rule and 20 stated they do not. In addition, multiple offences are counted as two or more offences in 20 countries but as one offence in 15 countries. Most countries, 31, count an offence committed by more than one person as one offence. This is in accord with the paper from 2000, and the statements appear to still hold. Remember, it pointed out that the rape statistics in Sweden were 3x that of Europe, back in 2000. And it pointed out how a single report in 1993 nearly doubled the rape statistics for that month.
