The study reveals that:

• the two most common types of reoffending were further breach of an intervention order (24% of offenders reoffended with this offence type) and assault/cause injury (22%)
• 86% of people sentenced for breaching family violence orders were male.

Differences in offending associated with the age and gender of offenders included that:

• male offenders were more likely than female offenders to have prior offences and were more likely to reoffend
• the victims of male offenders were more likely to be current or former partners (82%) than were victims of female perpetrators (54%). Other victims included parents and siblings
• offenders aged 18–24 were more likely to reoffend than offenders aged 25 or older.
