Rhode Island Domestic Violence Lawyers See Rise In Cases During COVID-19 Pandemic 2020

Rhode Island domestic violence lawyers' demand increases during the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
COVID-19 has caused some worrying statistics around the world, but one of the problems it has caused is an increase in the number of domestic violence with a twenty percent increase in intimate partner violence since the start of the virus in December 2019. John Grasso is a leading Rhode Island domestic violence lawyer that has seen a rise in demand for his services during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

Intimate Partner Violence is not uncommon during times of crisis and natural disaster and as a result, the increase is on the rise again during the coronavirus pandemic, which has gripped the world. With extensive research conducted into the reasoning behind domestic violence and the coronavirus, the lockdown measures taken increased the number of domestic violence cases in Rhode Island and the rest of the country.

Many companies have closed their doors to protect staff and clients, reducing contact and the spread of the virus. This means many people are working from home or forced to stay at home rather than socialize with friends and go to work each day. As a result, this social isolation has fueled the number of domestic violence cases. Ongoing isolation can result in victims being sole with abusers in a cycle that is difficult to control in this type of situation.

Domestic violence is often fueled by stress. It's an immense stress response and has been seen time and time again, especially after natural disasters such as a hurricane. A viral pandemic, such as COVID-19, can leave a person in a serious state of worry and this can trigger stress, which is associated with aggression.

Blake Nolan, the Media Consultant for John Grasso, said “Losing a job, finding your business in financial trouble due to the virus, are all triggers of stress, which can increase the risk of domestic violence. John and his team have seen a high demand for their services as leading Rhode Island domestic violence lawyers. They have extensive experience in the local courts and working with the prosecution to secure a fast resolution where possible.”
