Summary
The report presents the key findings from the 2004/05 British Crime Survey self-completion module focusing on partner abuse (non-sexual), family abuse (non-sexual), sexual assault and stalking; collectively referred to as intimate violence. The report examines the extent of intimate violence since age 16 and in the last year, multiple victimisation, the victim-offender relationship and the demographic, socio-economic and lifestyle factors associated with risk of victimisation. The report updates the previous findings from the 2001 British Crime Survey published in March 2004. Where possible, comparisons are made between the 2001 and 2004/05 findings.
