While these patterns are similar to IPV and FV that occur with crimes outside of animal cruelty, previous research on the link has not examined these relationships. This study also found the majority of animal cruelty incidents that occur with IPV or FV end in an arrest.

Little is known about how staff in Australian EDs respond to the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women who present with a TBI as a result of family violence, hindering the development of effective policy and frontline care.
