NATIONAL HOMICIDE MONITORING PROGRAM
CONTACT DETAILS Data custodian: Australian Institute of Criminology Telephone: (02) 6260 9200 Email: front.desk@aic.gov.au Web Address: https://aic.gov.au/ DESCRIPTION The National Homicide Monitoring Program (NHMP) collects data on all deaths classed as homicides by police, including domestic homicide and intimate partner homicide. Data pertaining to both homicide victims and offenders are published, and are updated on a biennial basis. COLLECTION HISTORY Collection commenced: 1989 Breaks in series: None Other details: COLLECTION METHODOLOGY The NHMP draws on two key sources of data: offence records obtained from each Australian state and territory police service and state coronial records such as toxicology and post-mortem reports. SCOPE AND COVERAGE The scope of the NHMP includes the following:
DEFINITION OF FAMILY AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE Homicide - The unlawful killing of a person. Homicide is defined differently by the criminal law of each Australian state and territory, and each jurisdiction defines degree, culpability and intent in different ways. This definition includes murder and manslaughter, murder-suicides and all other deaths classed by police as homicides, including infanticides, whether or not an offender was apprehended. It excludes driving-related fatalities except those that immediately followed a criminal event such as armed robbery or motor vehicle theft, or which resulted in a charge of murder or manslaughter being laid, and attempted murder and violent deaths such as industrial accidents involving criminal negligence (unless a charge of manslaughter is laid). Lawful homicide, including by police in the course of their duties, is also excluded, as are missing persons’ cases unless a charge of murder or manslaughter is laid by police against an offender. Homicide incident - An event in which one or more persons are killed in the same place and at the same time. The Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC) further classifies types of homicides by the relationship between victim and offender: domestic homicide; acquaintance homicide; and stranger homicide. Domestic homicide - Incidents involving the death of a family member or other person in a domestic relationship. Domestic homicide incidents include: intimate partner homicide; filicide; parricide; siblicide; and other family homicide. Intimate partner homicide - Where the victim and offender have a current or former intimate relationship, including same-sex and extramarital relationships.
