We think we know that gender inequality drives domestic, family and sexual violence but, when less than two per cent of perpetrators ever have contact with the police or the criminal justice system, there's a lot more we need to understand about what drives perpetrators. We need a national prevalence study like the Perpetration Project. Will the federal government fund and commit to a repeatable national prevalence study of the perpetration of domestic, family and sexual violence?
