who is at risk
•The 1996 ABS Women's Safety Survey and the Personal Safety Survey 2005 found that violence which occurs between partners may affect the children who also live in the home. The 1996 ABS Women's Safety Survey found that of the women who experienced violence by a current partner, 61 per cent (211 600) reported that they had children in their care at some time during the relationship, and 38 per cent (132 400) said that these children had witnessed the violence.
•In Economic Costs of Domestic Violence, 2002, Child abuse is more likely to occur in families experiencing domestic violence. Children of victims are also at risk of continuing the violence with their own children and partners and at heightened risk of alcohol and drug abuse and delinquency in later life. Impacts can also extend to people not directly experiencing victimisation. Effects can flow on to other children not from families experiencing domestic violence, for example, the effects of bullying or aggression by children of victims.
