Law Week Quiz Answer 6
| Answer 6 | a) 15-24 year olds |
 |
People aged 15 to 24 have the highest rate of assault victimisation. In 2003, 12 percent of 15 to 24 year olds were assaulted compared to a state average of 5 percent. Older people are much less likely to be a victim of an assault than younger people. Less than two percent of New South Wales residents aged over 55 were assaulted in 2003.
