INTRODUCTION This supplementary release provides experimental data regarding victims of selected Family and Domestic Violence-related offences1 for selected states and territories (refer to Explanatory Note 99). The data presented in this release are drawn from police crime recording systems and are based on a Family and Domestic Violence (FDV) flag as recorded by police officers. The FDV flag is one of a number of indicators used by police to determine whether an offence is family and domestic violence-related. Users should note that not all family and domestic violence-related offences will be flagged as such on police recording systems and consequently the number of family and domestic violence-related offences may be understated. Queensland police use a range of indicators for Family and Domestic Violence and the FDV flag is just one of these. Queensland Police use the relationship of offender to victim as their key indicator for identifying family and domestic violence-related offences. As a result, family and domestic violence-related offences as defined within these tables are likely to be substantially under-represented for Queensland. Users are advised to consider both the relationship of offender to victim data (Table 2) and the FDV flag data for Queensland to understand the number of family and domestic violence-related offences for this jurisdiction.
