Topic: An Analysis of Domestic Violence in the United States Prior to and During the Pandemic of 2020-2021.
1. How significantly has DV increased in the U.S. prior to and during the Pandemic?
2. Which regions of the U.S. (North, South, Midwest, Southwest, West, Pacific Northwest) have shown the greatest increases?
3. Politically, which states have shown the most increase–Red or Blue?
4. Have DV homicides increased?
5. Have prison releases due to the Pandemic resulted in greater recidivism among DV convicted prisoners?
6. Has US DV cases increased at a greater rate per capita in the US versus Canada?
I recommend that you conduct a longitudinal study by going back to 2018 for data up until 2021’s most current data. You will need at least 5-6 more research questions.
