Interpretation of the results and comparison with other sources are given in the Explanatory Notes and Appendix 2. This includes some comparisons with the 1996 Women’s Safety Survey. A summary of findings is provided.<br/ ><br/ >People were 3 times more likely to experience violence by a man than by a woman. In the 12 months prior to this survey, there is a higher proportion (74% or 326,700) of the 443,800 women aged 25 or more who had experienced violence compared to the proportion (62% or 504,100) of the 808,300 men in that age group who experienced violence. 17% (1,293,100) of women experienced sexual assault compared to 4.8% (362,400) of men; 4.6% (353,700) of women experienced sexual threat compared to 0.9% (69,500) of men.<br/ ><br/ >A smaller proportion of women reported violence in the 12 months prior to this survey in 2005 than in 1996. However, 36% (70,400) of women who experienced physical assault by a male perpetrator reported it to the police in 2005 compared to 19% (54,000) in 1996. The proportion of women aged under 35 who experienced physical violence in the 12 months prior to this survey has decreased but for those aged over 35, the proportion has increased. 19% (1,472,300) of women have been stalked compared to 9.1% (681,700) of men.<br/ ><br/ >Men were more likely to be physically assaulted by a stranger in the most recent incident, but women were more often assaulted by a previous partner. 59% (667,900) of women who experienced violence by a former partner were pregnant at some time during the relationship. Of those who experienced violence by a former partner, 36% (489,400) said their children had witnessed the violence. Women (12% or 956,600) were more likely to have been sexually abused than men (4.5% or 337,400) before the age of 15.<br/ ><br/ >The list of tables at the end includes changes over time; harassment; stalking; physical assault; sexual assault; partner violence. | en |
