As Police unravel the story behind Sydney woman's Michaela
Dunn's murder,
New South Wales Police Commissioner Mick Fuller mentioned to
press earlier this week that the alleged perpetrator Mert Ney
"had some domestic violence issues linked back to his family,
that again, were not significant or serious injuries . . . but if
you look at his spreadsheet from a criminal history perspective, it
remains unremarkable."
But what stands out in the Commissioner's statement is that,
in recent years, as criminologists have been studying the issue of
domestic violence in Australia, research has found that domestic
violence offenders are also more prone to commit violent crimes
outside the home.
