Note: Intimate partner violence refers to violence committed by married, separated or divorced persons, common-law partners (current and former), dating partners (current and former) and other intimate partners. Includes victims aged 15 to 89. Excludes incidents where the age or sex of the victim was unknown and where the relationship between the victim and the accused was unknown. Victims aged 90 years and older are excluded because of possible instances of miscoding of unknown age within this age category.
