Notes:	The role gender plays in intimate partner violence is hotly debated among researchers, practitioners and policy makers. This factsheet presents some key Australian data indicating perpetration and victimisation of intimate partner violence by gender. Australian police and court crime data indicate that women constitute a significant proportion of reported victims of intimate partner violence, while men make up a significant proportion of reported abusers. These data tend to focus on physical and sexual violence. Australian population survey data similarly show that women were more likely than men to be victims of physical, sexual and other forms of violence by a partner. Population survey data are particularly valuable because they capture reported as well as unreported abuse. Data provided here are drawn from the Personal Safety Survey (PSS):(Australian Bureau of Statistics 2006), Crime victimisation survey:(Australian Bureau of Statistics 2012) and the national survey on Young people and domestic violence: national research on young people’s attitudes and experiences of domestic violence:(National Crime Prevention 2001).
