Caveat: The final table above provides information regarding the gender of each unique victims and associated victims linked to domestic-related notifiable crime.
Please note, certain crimes do not have identifiable victims; for instance, a breach of a restraining order is considered a state-based offense. Some nominals will be victims of multiple crimes throughout the time period. Therefore, the volume of victims will be lower than the number of offences.
