Like previous months, February showed the
number of male victims of violence being more
than that of women. Male victims were 313
slightly up from last month figure of 252; while
female victims were 128 a considerable increase
from last month figure of 94.
The number of male perpetrators of violence
for February at 264 is less than that of 286
last month.
Women stood at a fraction of
that at 22 for February; notably this figure
was less than half the figure for women
perpetrators in January which stood at 48.
This shows that men were more likely to
perpetrate violence than women; and that
there was a decrease in women perpetrating
violence.
