Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Criminology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Previous studies in Aarhus (1981-1994) utilized hospital and police data to understand interpersonal violence.
  • Collaboration between casualty departments, Institute of Forensic Medicine, and police has been crucial for data collection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To update knowledge on the incidence and characteristics of interpersonal violence in Aarhus.
  • To compare current violence trends with historical data from previous studies.

Main Methods:

  • A dynamic cohort study was conducted from April 1, 1999, to March 31, 2000.
  • Data were collected through interviews with victims at casualty wards and the Institute of Forensic Medicine, supplemented by police records.
  • Results were compared to data from 1981-1982, 1987-1988, and 1993-1994.

Main Results:

  • A significant decrease in the number of victims to 1496 and an annual incidence rate of 4.6 victims/1000 was observed.
  • The reduction in violence was most pronounced among 15-24-year-old males.
  • Violence against women remained unchanged, while foreigners were overrepresented among victims. The nature and severity of violence did not change.

Conclusions:

  • Findings align with reports from Norway and Britain, indicating a general decrease in violence alongside an increase among foreign populations.
  • Preventive measures should be considered for young males (15-24 years) and foreigners, identified as key risk groups.
