The following graphs show the reported crimes from the “family violence” categories in the Police Database by Family Members of the Victim for the 12 months to June 2024. The categories used are: Acts Intended to Cause Injury, and Sexual Assault and Related Offences.
Part of my ongoing series of dives into stats, looking for evidence to support Marama Davidson’s statement “cis white males are responsible for the violence in the world”, explores the relationship between Offender and Victim, where the victim is a Family Member of the Offender, for reported/investigated Offences in the year to June 2024. These are Offences reported to Police, not Proceedings.
The Police Victimisations Report is the source of the Victimisations data, and StatsNZ/Census 2023 is the source of the Population size data.
The “per-100k” graphs show us how many offences are committed for every 100,000 people in each ethnic group, it essentially corrects for population size.
While we cannot always make the assumption that the ethnicity of a victim is going to be the same as the Offender, in the case of Family Members, we can let the assumption stretch.
