The aim of this survey was to determine the extent, context, risks, correlates, and effects of crime. A random sample of 5,300 people was interviewed to gather data on the aforementioned factors. Violence by partners and others well known to the victim, along with sexual victimisation, were measured by Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing to obtain reliable data on these types of crime. When comparing the results with those from the "New Zealand National Survey of Crime Victims 1996" (1997), there appears to be little change in the number of people who experienced victimisation. The report examines various demographics, statistics and issues in relation to aspects of crime, for example: reporting victimisation to the police and the victims' satisfaction with the police; sexual victimisation; meeting the needs of victims; concerns about victimisation; and preventing victimisation. Some of the findings from the survey include: that violence against women is less likely to come to the attention of police; that sexual victimisation had low reporting rates; that women, particularly Maori women, were more likely to have experienced intimate partner abuse; and that almost all victims reporting sexual assault indicated the perpetrator was male, and most knew their offender. Furthermore, women were more likely than men to be 'very much' affected by partner violence. The authors suggest that more research of a qualitative nature into the context of violence is needed. The findings for each issue are also discussed in relation to the implications for policy and crime prevention strategies.
