| dc.description.notes | General Overview: This Australian report presents the findings of the 17th year of national homicide data collection and provides an overview of key characteristics of the incidents, the victims and the offenders.<br/ ><br/ >Discussion: During 2005-06, there were 283 homicide incidents, representing a rate of 1.5 per 100 000 population. Knives and sharp instruments were the most common weapon used to kill (33%), followed by hands and/or feet (18%). Firearms and blunt instrument/other weapon were equal third (14% each). Most homicides occurred in residential premises and over a third occurred on weekends. Few occurred during the day.<br/ ><br/ >The data shows that Australians are most likely to be killed by someone they know. Male victims are most likely to be killed by a friend or acquaintance, and are most likely to be killed following an argument or altercation involving alcohol, drugs or money or other reason (51%). Females are most likely to be killed by a male intimate partner, and the killing is most likely to be a result of a domestic altercation (58%), which includes arguments based on jealousy, separation or termination of a relationship, infidelity, children and custody issues, alcohol fuelled domestic altercations or other issues between intimate or past intimate partners.<br/ ><br/ >There were 74 intimate partner homicides during this period, 80% involving a male killing a female and 24% involving an Indigenous victim or offender. There was a history of domestic violence in 53% of intimate partner homicides.<br/ ><br/ >Offenders were most likely to be male (88%) and had a mean age of 30. Most offenders were of Caucasian appearance (67%) and Indigenous offenders made up 21% of the total. Half of offenders had consumed alcohol, illicit or prescription drugs or both at the time of the incident.<br/ ><br/ >The report includes information about a number of police initiatives addressing violence, especially family violence. | en |
