Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Few studies have examined the characteristics of domestic violence (DV) committed by people with dementia. We provide an overview of DV perpetrated by people with dementia in the community based on police reports of attendances at DV events.
UNASSIGNED: A text mining method was used on 416,441 New South Wales (NSW) police narratives of DV events from January 2005 to December 2016 to extract information for Persons of Interest (POIs) with mentions of dementia.
UNASSIGNED: Events involving those with dementia accounted for a relatively low proportion of total DV events (<1%). Of the 260 DV events with a dementia mention for the POI, the most common abuse types were assault (49.7%) and verbal abuse (31.6%). Spouses were the largest group of victims (50.8%) followed by children (8.8%). Physical abuse was common, occurring in 82.4% of events, but injuries were relatively mild. Although weapons were infrequently used, they were involved in 5% of events, mostly by POIs aged 75 years and older. Similarly, the POIs were mainly aged 75+ years (60%), however the proportion of those aged <65 was relatively high (20.8%) compared to the reported prevalence of dementia in that age group.
UNASSIGNED: This study demonstrates that some cases of DV perpetrated by people with reported dementia are significant enough to warrant police involvement. This highlights the need to proactively discuss the potential for violence as part of the holistic management and support family members, particularly those caring for people with young-onset dementias.

摘要：
■很少有研究研究痴呆症患者实施的家庭暴力（DV）的特征。我们根据警方报告的DV事件，概述了社区痴呆症患者实施的DV。
■在2005年1月至2016年12月的416,441个新南威尔士州（NSW）警察对DV事件的叙述中使用了一种文本挖掘方法，以提取提及痴呆症的感兴趣的人（POI）的信息。
■涉及痴呆的事件占总DV事件的比例相对较低（<1%）。在260起患有痴呆症的DV事件中，提到了POI，最常见的虐待类型是攻击(49.7%)和言语虐待(31.6%)。配偶是最大的受害者群体(50.8%)，其次是儿童(8.8%)。身体虐待很常见，发生在82.4%的事件中，但伤势相对较轻。虽然武器很少使用，他们参与了5%的事件，主要是75岁及以上的POIs。同样，POI主要年龄在75岁以上(60%)，然而,与该年龄组报告的痴呆患病率相比,年龄<65岁人群的比例相对较高(20.8%).
这项研究表明，一些由报告的痴呆症患者实施的DV病例足以引起警方的介入。这突出了作为整体管理和支持家庭成员的一部分，需要积极讨论暴力的可能性，特别是那些照顾年轻痴呆症患者的人。
