In 90% of these cases, the cause of @entity174 were interpersonal violence. @entity14438 were encountered in nearly all districts of Greenland, most often in urban areas and the @entity1 were chiefly of Greenlandic descent. The % of @entity1 in the age group of 20-29 years was extremely high (57%) as was the @entity1 (36%). 75% of the @entity1 were ill-treated by their spouses. In half of the cases, the victims and the assailants were related. Victims unknown to the assailants made up only 20% of the cases. These were trends typical of a small society.
