Domestic Violence Reports and the Mental Health and Well-Being of Victims and Their Children
研究挪威家庭暴力报告后，受害者及其子女在心理健康、就业、收入和儿童发展等方面的变化，发现报告后受害者心理健康诊断增加、经济状况恶化，子女更易接受儿童保护服务、犯罪率上升且学业成绩下降。
<h3>Abstract</h3> We study the costs associated with domestic violence (DV) in Norway by comparing outcomes before and after a DV report, using those who will be victimized in the future as controls. A DV report is associated with increased mental health diagnoses for both victims and their children and reduced financial resources. Victims experience marital dissolution, more doctor visits, lower employment, reduced earnings and higher use of disability insurance. Their children are more likely to receive child protective services and commit a crime. Using a complementary RD design, we find declines in children's test scores and grade completion.
