This report details who experiences offences by family members, what types of offences occur, and what services victims interact with. The offences include physical assault, sexual assault, psychological violence by intimate partners, harassment and threatening behaviour, property damage and robbery.
Figures from the report show:
• Māori adults (4 percent) were found to be more at-risk of experiencing family member violence than European adults (2 percent).
• Adult females (2.8 percent) were more than twice as likely to report offences by family members than adult males (1.2 percent).
• Young people between 15 – 29 years of age were 1.7 times as likely to report offences by family members (3.4 percent) than New Zealand average. (From the media release).
