In Austria, the costs accruing from domestic violence - violence against women as well as against children and juveniles - amount to 78 million euro each year. The study has taken into account all the available figures, which are far from complete since statistics are missing in a number of fields. Gaps were filled with scientific estimate on the basis of the available figures. Costs were identified for police, judiciary, social welfare, employment, health and social institutions.
