The following tables C.6.1 and C.6.2 show the results on the definition of aggravated
assault. While almost all countries included serious and lasting bodily injury,
life-threatening injury and use of weapons or dangerous objects in their definition
of aggravated assault, in some countries a particularly vulnerable victim is not an
aggravating circumstance, at least not one reflected in statistics (see table C.6.1).
Exclusion of assault leading to death from aggravated assault data is not possible
for several countries (see table C.6.2).
