Abstract
The limited freedom of movement, social isolation and financial insecurity as a result of the COVID-19 measures can lead to mounting tensions at home. This quasi-experimental study focuses on the size, nature and seriousness of reports of domestic violence in the Netherlands during the period of the COVID-19 measures compared to the same period last year (weekly level). There is expected to be a delayed rise in the magnitude of domestic violence, an increasing severity, as well as changes in perpetrators, victims and reporters of domestic violence.
