Episode Details

New research from Australia reveals a surprising drop in family violence—women in New South Wales are reporting fewer physical assaults or threats, falling from 1% to just over 0.5% over the past few years. Similar declines are emerging across other states, based on direct community surveys rather than police data, offering a clearer picture of real-world trends. While domestic homicides remain steady and high-profile cases dominate headlines, the broader data suggests violence within families may be decreasing. Victimization rates for women aged 15+ also fell by over 1%, though not all states mirrored this trend. Despite some public figures minimizing the issue, the evidence confirms violence against women and children remains a serious problem—with men overwhelmingly the perpetrators—and the scale of harm continues to affect far more women than men.
