dc.description.notes	Overview: This Australian paper reports on a study conducted by the Australian Domestic and Family Violence Clearinghouse, examining the relationship between frequency of domestic violence incidents and time of year or calendar events. Based on international literature and data, the study analysed three years of Australian data to investigate anecdotal claims of correlations between several variables and the various contexts in which domestic violence might occur.<br/ ><br/ >* domestic violence and calendar events – international literature suggests that Christmas, New Years Day and other major calendar events may be associated with increases in the number of domestic violence incidents and reports<br/ >* domestic violence and football matches – the authors examined various studies, mainly from the United Kingdom (UK) and United States (US), most of which indicate a positive association.<br/ ><br/ >The authors clearly state that they are not arguing that there is a causal relationship between these factors and domestic violence incidents. Rather, that a positive relationship may indicate that these factors create opportunities for violence to occur.<br/ ><br/ >Data gathering and analysis: Based on the literature review, the focus of the study was on investigation of Australian data and potential correlations with:<br/ >A table lists the various federal and state organisations and agencies which supplied data for the study. Domestic violence was measured through reports of domestic assault, all sexual assault to police and domestic violence orders applied for or made.<br/ ><br/ >Conclusion: The results of the study are presented and analysed in the text and represented in tables and graphs. Overall, the study concludes that there is a positive correlation between domestic and other violence with summer months and some calendar events (i.e. New Year’s Day and Melbourne Cup Day). There was no correlation with football events, although a more localised study of football matches and violence may yield stronger results. The authors conclude by outlining the limitations of the study and identifying issues for further study and the possible implications of the findings	en
