: Women and Crime
Summary:
• Domestic violence is the leading contributor to death, disability and illness in Victorian women under the age of 45 years.
• In 2002-03, domestic violence was estimated to cost the Australian economy $8 billion each year.
• At least 1 in 17 women is a victim of violence each year.
• Fewer women reported being assaulted than 10 years ago.
• Women are mostly assaulted at home, often repeatedly, by a man they know.
• Women often talk to family or friends about the violence they are experiencing rather than go to the police or a support agency.
• Women tend not to report assault because victims trivialise the incident or fear retaliation from the offender.
• However, more women are reporting violence to police than 10 years ago.
• Many people still believe that men are biologically driven to rape and female victims 'ask for it'.
• An increasing number of people believe that men and women equally commit domestic violence.
• The number of female prisoners is increasing at a faster rate than male prisoners and for the more serious violent crimes.
How many women experience violence?
It is difficult to estimate the true prevalence rate of violence against women as definitions and methods of data collection vary between jurisdictions, agencies, and surveys.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics' national Crime and Safety Survey,1 which measures the extent of crime in our community, estimated that about 5% of Australian women had experienced assault at least once in the prior year.
The Australian component of the 2004 International Violence Against Women Survey2 showed that 57% of women reported some level of physical and/or sexual harm over their life course (that is, since the age of 16 years). Nine percent of women reported experiencing sexual violence only, 23% reported experiencing physical violence only, and 25% of women experienced both types of violence either in the same incident or on separate occasions. The survey found that one in ten women reported experiencing physical and/or sexual harm during the last twelve months.
Violence includes physical and sexual assault and threat.
Men are the perpetrators in the majority of assault against men and women, and women tend to be physically and sexually assaulted by men they know.
Characteristics of offences
Location of assault
Most physical assaults against women occur at home. The next most common place for women to be physically assaulted is in the workplace (See Figure 7.5). Women are least likely to be physically assaulted in a private vehicle, using public transport, and at a train station, bus stop or interchange
The majority of physical attacks against women involve one perpetrator, although multiple offenders attack a substantial number of women. The 2005 Crime and Safety Survey1 reported that 16% of assaults of women involved two or more offenders and the results of the 2004 International Crime Victimisation Survey7 showed that 15% of women were attacked by two offenders and 14% of incidents of violence against women involved three or more offenders.
Estimates of the proportion of assaults against women with a weapon range from 11.3%1 to 17%.7 Household objects were most often used as weapons. Smaller numbers of assaults involved the use of knives, guns and syringes/hypodermic needles.
Reporting to police
During 2004–05, 33.3% of all physical violence and 17.8% of all sexual violence perpetrated by men against women were reported to police. Although small, these figures represent an increase over the number of reports in 1996 (Figure 7.7). Women were more likely to tell a friend or a neighbour about the violence than to report it to the authorities.
Instead of contacting specialised agencies, women are more likely to speak to someone close to them about the violence. The majority of female victims of assault surveyed in the Crime and Safety Survey sought support from family members, friends or neighbours, and work colleagues after the incident (Figure 7.11).

Other 'offences against the person' include murder, attempted murder, driving causing death, kidnapping/abduction, robbery, and blackmail and extortion. With the exception of kidnapping/abduction, men are more likely than women to be victims of crime
