prevalence of domestic violence in cities declared
Answer (1)
The prevalence of domestic violence in cities has shown a concerning trend recently. In the first half of 2025, the reported rate of domestic violence in several U.S. cities was about 3% higher than during the same period in 2024. However, despite this recent rise, the overall reported rate was still about 8% lower than in the first half of 2019. It's important to note that many domestic violence incidents are underreported, and actual rates may be 29% to 53% higher than reported figures in some large cities. This underreporting means the true extent of domestic violence is likely greater than official data suggests. These trends highlight ongoing challenges in addressing domestic violence at the city level and the need for continued efforts in support and prevention[tex].[/tex]
