Answer preview
In their article, Boserup et al. (2020) outline that the Covid 19 pandemic caused serious destruction, not only economic destruction but also social destruction. To prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the state governments implemented some policies like stay-at-home orders and social distancing. The implementation of the stay-at-home orders led to an increase in DV cases in different regions across the country. For instance, the Portland police department in Oregon reported a 22% increase in DV-related arrests compared to the prior week before the implementation of the stay-at-home policies. Similarly, the San Antonio Police department recorded an 18% increase in calls pertaining to family violence in March 2020 compared to the previous year. The sheriff’s department in Jefferson, Alabama, recorded an increase in DV-related calls by 27% in 2020 compared to the previous year.
