The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an increase in Domestic Violence cases .
Thanks
From what I have seen, the answer is yes. I'm not in law enforcement though. I suspect that there are far more cases of unreported abuse than we are currently seeing, and not just spousal violence, but child abuse as well.
Yes sadly to say there has been and increase in DV during pandemic due to couples being together for longer periods of time than usual and in close quarters with each other the couple tend to become argumentative with each other without the ability to separate and calm down.
