This paper from the 2007 Australian Social Policy Conference presents the results of an exploratory analysis of risk factors for violent victimisation using a wide range of factors drawn from the National Torres Strait Islander Social Survey. The results show higher risks of violent victimisation amongst certain groups, with the strongest correlate of Indigenous violence being high risk alcohol abuse. Posted 18-07-2007
