Abstract

Domestic violence is repeated in its nature, which means there are a group of victims who who experience a disproportionate amount of violence. These victims are sometimes called 'high frequency victims'. Using data from the Crime Survey for England and Wales, an analysis of high frequency victims was produced to compare to other victims of domestic violence. High frequency victims are more likely to be female and experience more harm than other victims of domestic violence.
