Also compared against the average adults who were separated (13.1%) or non-partnered at the time of an interview (4.1%) were significantly more likely to experience offending by family members.
Young people aged between 15 – 29 were significantly more likely than 30 – 64-year-olds to experiencing offending and controlling behaviours by intimate partners.
“This report adds to the picture we are building up about the victims of family violence,” says Dr Michael Slyuzberg, acting manager Research and Evaluation." (From the media release).
