COVID-19大流行导致经济放缓，因为更多人实行社交距离和在家避难。家庭孤立、失业和经济压力的增加有可能增加家庭暴力。我们记录了这一流行病对警察要求为家庭暴力提供服务的影响。2020年3月至5月期间，疫情使家庭暴力电话增加了7. 5%，影响集中在社交距离开始后的前五周。报告的家庭暴力事件的增加是在正式规定呆在家里之前开始的。它不是由任何特定的人口群体驱动的，但似乎是由没有家庭暴力历史的家庭驱动的。(c)2020 Elsevier B. V.保留所有权利。
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an economic slowdown as more people practice social distancing and shelter at home. The increase in family isolation, unemployment, and economic stress has the potential to increase domestic violence. We document the pandemic's impact on police calls for service for domestic violence. The pandemic increased domestic violence calls by 7.5% during March through May of 2020, with effects concentrated during the first five weeks after social distancing began. The increase in reported domestic violence incidents began before official stay-at-home orders were mandated. It is not driven by any particular demographic group but does appear to be driven by households without a previous history of domestic violence. (c) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
