Includes current and former spouses. Excludes same-sex spouses as the Homicide Survey does not currently collect information on the legal status of same-sex unions.
2.
Includes current and former dating relationships, as well as other intimate relationships. For the purpose of this specific analysis, same-sex dating relationships, which are typically included in the 'intimate relationship category', have been removed and included in the same-sex relationship category.

Note:
Collection of data on accused-victim relationship began in 1961, with modifications made to relationship categories in 1991, 1997 and 2005. Proportions are caculated for victims aged 15 years and over.
