Abstract

Global reports indicate that 307 million women have suffered physical or sexual intimate partner violence during the last 12 months. Yet, chronic underreporting of domestic violence (DV) is still a reality in the United States and worldwide. The process of going to a police station and reporting DV is extremely burdensome, leading to numerous psychological effects on the victim and lost opportunity cost of stopping the violence cycle. This study investigates the impacts of bypassing police contact by enabling online reporting and requesting of protective orders (POs) in Brazil. Through novel databases and by using a Synthetic Control, I find that online reporting of DV led to a 29.5% increase in the average monthly requests of POs. This translates to roughly 373 new requests of POs. Implications of these findings are discussed.

触手可及：网上举报家庭暴力有什么影响？

全球报告显示，在过去 12 个月中，有 3.07 亿妇女遭受过亲密伴侣的身体暴力或性暴力。然而，在美国和全球范围内，家庭暴力（DV）的长期低报仍然是一个现实。去警察局举报家庭暴力的过程是极其繁琐的，会给受害者带来许多心理影响，并丧失阻止暴力循环的机会成本。本研究调查了巴西通过在线报案和申请保护令（POs）而绕过警方的影响。通过新型数据库和使用合成控制法，我发现在线举报家庭暴力导致每月平均申请保护令的数量增加了 29.5%。这意味着大约新增了 373 份保护令申请。本文讨论了这些发现的意义。
