Judicial crime statistics provide information about the final convictions handed down by Austrian courts in accordance with the Austrian Criminal Code and supplementary criminal laws. While a strong focus lies on the latest data, trends in convictions since the year 1947 are presented as well. The statistics on convictions encompass three different data levels: convicted persons, convictions and (since the reporting year 2012) all offences included in the verdicts. Statistics on reconvictions are based on persons convicted (except for unconditional prison sentences) or released from prison during a given base year; the statistics show how many of these persons were convicted again during an observation period of four years.

The publication is available in German only.
