Research study data definitions prepared by the New Zealand Family Violence Clearinghouse, University of Auckland - Auckland, New Zealand : New Zealand Family Violence Clearinghouse, University of Auckland, 2017 - electronic document (6 pages) ; PDF & DOC files - NZFVC data summary definitions .

June 2017

This and other related definitions documents were prepared to assist with interpreting the data presented in the 2017 NZFVC Data summaries.

The majority of data in the summaries has been drawn from administrative and service data. As such, they are dependent on reporting and recording practices and cannot be used as indicators of the incidence of family violence in the population. In addition, they cannot be used to comment on trends in the occurrence of family violence over time. Sexual and family violence are often not reported to authorities and so can be very hard to measure from administrative data. Further, the data provided is often provisional (subject to change if new information is gathered) and drawn from dynamic operational databases.
