Supplementary notes

The source adds the following information: 'The provisions of the Danish Criminal Code regarding sexual offences went through essential amendments taking effect from 1 July 2013. The amendments resulted in e.g. more categories of sexual offences than previously being placed under the provisions about rape (section 216)'.
As a result, numbers for this category are only reported since 2013.
