New AIC research demonstrates the potential to routinely analyse narrative data on family and domestic violence (FDV) in police reports.
Based on a sample of almost 500,000 FDV events, the research found that a specific type of abuse could be identified in over 70 percent of events. Victim injuries were identified in over a third of events.
The research also showed that around 16% of events involved a person of interest or victim with a mental disorder.
