Comment

In 2005, 5.1 in every 1,000 young people 15- 17 years were nominated as protected persons on a Domestic Apprehended Violence Order in NSW.

The rate of nominated persons increased for all age groups over the period 1996 to 2001. From 2001 the rate has declined for all but the 15 to 17 age group which has increased over the period 1996 to 2005 by 2.7 per 1,000.
