I f.eks. Portugal registrerer statistikkerne mest vold mod kvinder i kommuner med højest levestandard eller uddannelsesniveau, hvad der dog ikke nødvendigvis betyder, at det er dér, hvor der forekommer mest vold mod kvinder og børn.
In Portugal, for example, violence against women is statistically higher in areas which have a higher standard of living or higher levels of education, which does not necessarily mean that that is where more violence against women and children occurs.
