FREQUENCY OF VIOLENCE
For persons who had experienced violence by a partner, information was collected about whether they had experienced more than one incident of violence by their current partner or most recently violent previous partner since the age of 15 (Refer Table 22).
Women who had experienced violence by a previous partner were more likely than men to have experienced more than one incident. There was no difference in the estimated proportion of men and women who experienced more than one incident of violence by a current partner (Refer Table 22).
