Summary: This 2011 family violence indicators fact sheet was developed for the Taskforce for Action on Violence within Families in 2010. The indicators represent the first step in regular reporting back to the Taskforce to monitor the level of family violence in New Zealand. The indicators attempt to address three key questions: 1. Are the major outcomes of family violence changing: getting more or less severe? 2. Are incidents of family violence increasing or decreasing year by year across all communities? 3. Is there specific evidence of reduced tolerance of violence and behaviour change in families across all communities? [from the website]. The answers to these questions are presented in the graphs listed. Data was sourced from New Zealand Police, Ministry of Health, Child, Youth and Family, Ministry of Justice, Attitudes, values and beliefs about violence within families: 2008 survey, Age Concern New Zealand, Relationship Services New Zealand, Youth '07: the Health and Wellbeing of Secondary School Students in New Zealand survey, New Zealand Crime and Safety Surveys (NZCSS), data collected 2006 and 2009. There is some discussion of expected trends. Use the Access Website link to read more about these indicators and the work of the Taskforce.
