It is difficult to determine how many people experience non-fatal strangulation/suffocation (NFSS) in New Zealand.
However, the limited information that is available from risk assessments, case studies, and population surveys is
consistent with that from Australia, showing it is not uncommon in intimate partner violence (IPV). Therefore,
improving people’s understanding of the severity of NFSS and their response when it occurs, may be more valuable than counting it more accurately. (From the fact sheet). Record #9057
