This report brings together the latest national data sources to help build a picture of family, domestic and sexual violence in Australia. While there is a strong framework for collecting data on this subject (ABS 2013b, 2013c, 2014), there are also a number of challenges. For example, as many of the available data sources report only on violence perpetrated by an intimate partner, and not by other family members, much of this report focuses on domestic violence, particularly male violence against women. There are also significant gaps in information about the responses to and impacts of family, domestic and sexual violence. This report therefore highlights data gaps and areas for data improvement to further strengthen and improve the evidence base to better deal with family, domestic and sexual violence. (From the introduction). This is a very readable data report with extensive use of infographics. Record #5768
