FAMILY violence is rising in Frankston, according to new figures released by the Crime Statistics Agency.

The CSA released new statistics detailing the number of family incidents reported to Victoria Police. In Frankston, the rate of reported incidents per 100,000 people stood at 153.7 in January of this year. By June it had risen to 174.6.

Reported family incidents in Frankston are up more 30 per cent in 2020 compared to the same time in 2019. The rate per 100,000 residents was 392.6 in Q2 2019, a number which rose to 510.6 in Q2 2020.

A statement from the CSA on the statewide figures read that “a key finding is that there was an increase in the number of victim survivors or clients aged 55 or older who accessed family violence services during the second quarter of 2020.”

“Victoria Police, Ambulance Victoria, Victims of Crime Helpline and specialist family violence and accommodation services through the homelessness data collection all recorded an increase in the number of victims or clients aged 55 years or older during the months where COVID-19 restrictions were in place.

“Victoria Police family incidents data indicated that more than half of incidents concerning a victim survivor aged 55 and older involved an aggressor who was the child (including adult children) of the victim. The number of family incidents involving a victim survivor in this age group where their child was the aggressor increased 20.2 per cent in the second quarter of 2020.”
