Nevertheless, our results show that around one-third of people proceeded against for a family and domestic violence offence had only one offence. Nearly one in five (18.7%) had six or more offences and they were responsible for 52.7 percent of all offences by people born in New South Wales in the same year. Females were more likely than males to have been proceeded against for one family and domestic violence offence (45.8% vs 32.0%). Females with six or more offences (10.9%) were responsible for 39.6 percent of all recorded family and domestic violence offences involving a female born in New South Wales. Males with six or more offences (21.1%) were responsible for 55.7 percent of all recorded family and domestic violence offences involving a male born in New South Wales and 45.4 percent of all recorded family and domestic violence offences by people born in New South Wales.
