NZCVS Cycle 3 (2019-20) Topical report
These reports are based on the NZCVS Cycle 3 (2019-20) data and focused on specific prioritised themes.
Patterns of victimisation by family members and help seeking by victims. This report seeks to identify who is most at risk of offending by family members and controlling behaviours by intimate partners. In addition, it examines patterns of offending and controlling behaviours adults are experiencing and how that may influence their behaviours when seeking help. The analysis in this report uses pooled data from the 2018 (Cycle 1) NZCVS sample which was collected from March to September 2018 and the 2019/20 (Cycle 3) NZCVS sample which was collected from October 2019 to November 2020.
