The continuum of services that MJE provides helps families move from the trauma of community violence and get out from under the cycle of poverty. New survey questions to better estimate experiences of this type of abuse are still under development. The version used for analysis does not accept updates after it is “frozen” to ensure the data do not change during the analysis period. For example, 4.2% of men aged 16 to 59 years had experienced domestic abuse within the last year in the year ending March 2019, compared with 6.5% of men in the year ending March 2005.
