In a first study of its kind, the Australian Institute of Criminology reports the first estimate of the prevalence of recorded family and domestic violence offending in a population sample in Australia. Dr Rick Brown, deputy director of the Australian Institute of Criminology says “it is an important step towards increasing the visibility of family and domestic violence perpetrators”. In this study, they’ve used criminal history data for three birth cohorts in New South Wales to estimate the prevalence of recorded family and domestic violence offending.
