Definition

Offences against sexual freedom known to the police during the year, including sexual assault with penetration. Known offences (hechos conocidos): criminal offences recorded by the Policía Nacional, the Guardia Civil, the regional police forces and the local police forces that report to the Sistema Estadístico de Criminalidad, whether reported by the public or found by the police.

Called offences against sexual freedom and indemnity (libertad e indemnidad sexual) until the 2022 reform of the Criminal Code; the category is the same chapter of the code. Not comparable with police_recorded_sexual_violence_rate (Eurostat, ICCS definitions). Spain only: the country, its comunidades autónomas and its provinces from 2016, and municipalities over 20,000 residents from 2023. Calendar-year totals from the fourth-quarter Balance de Criminalidad of the Ministry of the Interior.
