The research also found that 27% of these respondents had been in a romantic relationship over the past year, with nearly 49% having experienced violent or controlling behaviours. This research also found that children aged 13–15 years in relationships are significantly more likely to report violence or controlling experiences (58%) compared with those aged 16–17 (42%).64 Written evidence from Operation 58 C&AG’s Report, para 15 59 Q 46 60 C&AG’s Report, para 15 61 C&AG’s Report, para 1.5 62 VAWG0050 63 Q 8 64 VAWG0014 19 Encompass highlighted that the likelihood of becoming a perpetrator of domestic abuse in the future is increased if you experienced or witnessed it as a child.65
