The Australian Institute of Criminology has released a new Trends & issues paper on domestic violence offending by outlaw motorcycle gang (OMCG) members.

• Forty percent of OMCG members in New South Wales had been proceeded against for a domestic violence offence in the last 10 years.
• OMCG members were twice as likely to have been proceeded against for domestic violence offences as the wider male offending population.
• Domestic violence offending by OMCG members was more harmful and charges were less likely to result in a guilty outcome.
