Notes:	One of the specific goals set by the NT Government under the Domestic Violence Strategy is the collection of data across government and non-government agencies throughout the Territory through a unified data collection system, a first in Australia. This is the third in a series of reports of the Northern Territory Data Collection Project. This report is based on data collected between 1 July 1997 and 30 June 1998 from 20 government and non-government agencies. It includes: demographic data on victims, offenders and children of victims; the location of incidents; services used by the victims; type of violence, duration and frequency; history of violence; and involvement of alcohol and other drugs. It is now possible to look at trends emerging over the three years of the project. For the most part these patterns are consistent with quantitative data collected elsewhere in Australia and with anecdotal evidence provided by services and victims. However, this report suggests that pregnancy may prompt an escalation of violence.
