Historic family violence statistics – learning from history?
The following historical family violence statistics were obtained from NZ Police and other sources and further developed by Rob Veale Ltd. The information is now dated and various definitions have changed. The information is subject to various caveats and not intended as official crime statistics for the relevant time periods.
The purpose of sharing this information is to generate constructive discussion between agencies and communities looking to prevent and reduce family violence – for those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
§ Police family violence crimes and incidents
o Breaches of Protection Orders
o Domestic Disputes (non-crimes)

If you require any explanation of the above statistics or require other domestic violence statistics from the criminal justice sector, please contact me directly.
