In the US, for example, the "intimate partner victimisation rate" is six times higher – 12.7 per 1,000 women aged over 12 – among households with incomes of less than $7,500 than among households earning $50,000 or more.
The region (R_j) such that (V_1 = R_j) has the highest victimisation rate and the region (R_l) such that (V_n = R_l) has the smallest victimisation rate.
Fig. 1 Process of dividing the area into non-overlapping regions, obtain their victimisation rate from survey data and rank the regions from the one with the highest victimisation rate to the one with the lowest victimisation rate.
Let (V = (V_1, V_2, dots, V_n)) be the ranking obtained from that victimisation rate, as an ordered list of the n regions, from the one with the highest victimisation to the one with the lowest victimisation rates.
Fig. 3 The victimisation rate in Mexico considering Robbery of a Person in 2014.
This shows that there are some counties with low (high) victimisation rate in 2011 which had a higher (lower) victimisation rate for the year 2013 but then went back in the year 2014.
The process of dividing into non-overlapping regions, taking into account the victimisation rate from each region and then ranking these victimisation rates is schematically drawn in Fig. 1; the process is the same for the perception of security ranking.
If we assume that the victimisation rate is different in every region, then it also provides a unique way to rank the n regions.
Let (V_k in left{ R_1, R_2, dots R_n right} ) be the unique region which occupies the k-th position on the ranking of the victimisation rate.
The result is a unique ranking of the regions based on the perception of security and a unique ranking of the regions based on the victimisation rate.
The lack of economic empowerment of women and the violation of their basic right to education, health and a life free of poverty contribute and perpetuate VAW, Abuse, rape, victimisation and femicide speak to the importance of protecting the fundamental rights of citizens and the importance of a strong legal system within democratic institutions that promote peace and human dignity.
