This 2011 Directory of Family and Domestic Violence Statistics for Australia provides an on-line reference point for data sources that relate to family and domestic violence (FDV) for the Nation, individual States, and Territories.
Abstract
Directory entries provide information about the purpose of the data collection, type of collection, frequency, and the history and range of FDV-related data available from each collection. Information is also presented on FDV-related content, the definition of FDV for the purposes of the data collection, relationship to a conceptual framework for FDV, the methodology of the data collection, the target population, and geographic coverage. The intent of this directory is to provide researchers, policy analysts, and practitioners with a single source for accessing information about FDV at the national, State, and Territory levels. The creation of this directory is a response to the circumstance that much of the data relevant to FDV has been invisible, under-used, and scattered across sectors, jurisdictions, and levels of government.
