The first part focuses on court activities including case loads of civil courts, criminal courts, labor courts, tax courts, and the German Constitutional court. The second section classifies suspects according to German States and specific offense types. In part three, statistics on offenders and their respective sentences are reported with special emphasis on theft, embezzlement, and drug crimes. These charts also distinguish between alien and German offenders.

A Works Cited List and statistics on the overall West German population are appended.
