Let's be clear here, this is an increase in reported cases. It doesn't necessarily mean the number of rapes have gone up. --Soman (talk) 14:02, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

@Soman: Source say that Germany is having rise, at least from the period of 1995 to 2009. OccultZone (Talk) 20:25, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

- that hook definitely needs replacing. There's no way to definitively say that rapes have gone up or down. Prosecutions and conviction rates are available though. Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 18:15, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

ALT1:... that according to a national report, the conviction rate of rape in Germany has declined, from 20% in the 1980s to 13% by 2000?

@Panyd:, changed. OccultZone (Talk) 06:43, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, that's much better. I'd tick that! Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 19:56, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
