N2  - Aim To describe the distribution of, and trends in, the characteristics of serious non-fatal assault injury for the period 2000–2009. Methods Serious non-fatal hospitalised assault injury for the 2000–2009 period were identified and described by: sociodemographic characteristics, location of incidents, methods used to inflict injury, alcohol involvement, and nature of injury. Trends in assault by age, gender, and method were examined. Results Males, 15–24 year olds, Māori, Pacific Islanders, and those from deprived neighbourhoods had markedly elevated assault rates. Assault by bodily force and head injuries predominated with the former being the major category of assault that increased the most over time. Conclusions There is a disturbing level of serious assault in New Zealand and the situation is getting worse. We need to review current efforts to prevent these incidents. [Authors' abstract].
