| dc.description.notes | On average, 125 females of all ages are murdered each year in Australia, with the greatest risk of homicide victimisation for females being between the ages of 21 and 23 years. Overwhelmingly, it is men who kill women - male offenders were responsible for killing approximately 94 per cent of adult female victims. However, the likelihood of a woman being killed by a male stranger is very slight - each year in Australia fewer than 14 women are killed by a man that they do not know. Nearly three in five of all femicides, defined here as the killing of women aged 15 years and over, occur between intimate partners, and nearly all of these are the result of a domestic altercation. When a woman is killed, she is most likely to be killed in a private residence. These and other factors that may contribute to the likelihood of a woman being killed in Australia are presented in full in a Research and Public Policy series report from the Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC) entitled Femicide: The Killing of Women in Australia 1989 - 1998. | en |
