Domestic Violence in Australia

di Bob Macdonald (Autore)

Bob MacDonald, 2020

In this manuscript, I have drawn on and listed some data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics involving domestic violence in Australia. Such data is listed hereunder but rather than bore the reader with those banal details I will concentrate on events which could be looked upon as being more of an anecdotal nature. My career with the Western Australia Police Force stretched for thirty years, with the majority of that period based at police stations in rural areas inhabited by a predominantly aboriginal population. The subject of domestic violence involving the indigenous community has long been an issue of concern. The Australian Bureau of Statistics 2016/17 figures show they are thirty-two times as likely to be hospitalized for family violence as non-indigenous people. In this presentation, I concentrated on events of which I was personally involved during my policing career. They cover incidents of a minor nature to that of murder. But my main reason for putting pen to paper is to bring to notice the high rate of domestic violence within the ranks of the aboriginal people of Australia.
