Notes:

The figure represents data from countries that reported the mean age of victims for most years during the reporting period.

For Spain the information is based on six cities (Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Sevilla, Zaragoza and Bilbao).

Information is based on ‘national definitions’ as presented in Table DRD-6 in the 2012 Statistical bulletin.
