The current study castssome of the first light into the initial impacts of the largest global health crisis in a generation on family and domestic violence, the long-term repercussions of which may take decades to unpack. Statewide trends in juvenile arrests for domestic violence (DV)-related offending are examined, taking into account school closures for in-person learning in March 2020 and the subsequent mandate for an in-person learning option in Florida in August 2020. Additionally, trends by sex, race/ethnicity, and severity of the offense are examined. Contrasting with growing studies demonstrating an increase in DV-related arrests among adults, we find a significant decrease upon school closures then subsequent increase when schools reopened with an in-person option. Results held across examined subgroups, yet the extent of increase following mandatory in-person learning availability was not as uniform, with Hispanic youth showing the smallest increase and Black youth the largest. Implications are discussed.

COVID-19 期间青少年家庭暴力犯罪是否发生了变化?
目前的研究首次揭示了一代人以来最大的全球健康危机对家庭和家庭暴力的初步影响,其长期影响可能需要几十年才能解决。考虑到 2020 年 3 月关闭学校进行面对面学习以及随后于 2020 年 8 月在佛罗里达州提供面对面学习选项的要求,研究了全州范围内因家庭暴力 (DV) 相关犯罪而被捕的青少年趋势。此外,趋势按性别、种族/民族和罪行的严重程度审查。与越来越多的研究表明成年人中与 DV 相关的逮捕增加相比,我们发现学校关闭后显着减少,然后当学校通过面对面的选择重新开放时会增加。跨检查亚组的结果,然而,强制性面对面学习可用性的增加程度并不统一,西班牙裔青年的增幅最小,黑人青年的增幅最大。影响进行了讨论。
