| dc.description.notes | The aim of this study was to provide a model for estimating the economic costs of family violence in New Zealand. Taking as its starting point an earlier (1991) NSW study of the economic costs of domestic violence, a number of scenarios were developed: the ‘base scenario’ estimates direct costs assuming that the number of women acknowledging domestic violence is equivalent to the number of police callouts related to domestic violence; the second scenario or ‘five times callout scenario’ assumes that five times as many women are victims of domestic violence as those that call the police; the last or the ‘income foregone scenario’, includes the costs of work days lost due to family violence. These three scenarios are then used with three estimates of the prevalence of domestic violence: 1-in-10, 1-in-7 and 1-in-4. The ‘base scenario’ (most conservative) results in an annual cost of NZ$1.187 billion or NZ$1.352 billion, depending on whether the 1-in-10 or 1-in-4 prevalence rate is calculated. The use of a spreadsheet, incorporating all assumptions, variables and sources of data, allows the testing of alternative assumptions and the inclusion of new data over time. | en |
