Key findings indicated that between 1995 and 2004/05, domestic violence in the United Kingdom declined by 59 percent and acquaintance violence dropped by 54 percent. Women were more likely than men to report experiencing intimate violence across all forms (partner abuse, family abuse, sexual assault, and stalking) since the age of 16 years. Half of women and one third of men who had experienced intimate violence since the age of 16 years reported experiencing more than one form of intimate violence. Partner abuse was the type of intimate violence most likely to have been experienced by both women (28 percent) and men (18 percent) since the age of 16 years. However, stalking was the form of abuse most likely to have been experienced by both women (9 percent) and men (9 percent) during the past 12 months. Offenders of serious sexual assault against men and women were more likely to have been known to their victims than offenders of less serious sexual assaults. Factors found to be independently related to intimate violence included being unmarried, being young, and having a limiting disability or illness. Participants were 24,498 men and women aged 16 to 59 years who completed the 2004/05 British Crime Survey (BCS), a large-scale nationally representative survey of individuals in private households in England and Wales. The 2004/05 BCS contained a computerized self-report module on intimate partner violence. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression analyses.
