Domestic violence cases rise during Holidays
A Midland police department (Texas) report indicates that cases of domestic violence increase during holidays. Months of November and December are worst affected. Of course not to say that the cases drop down after the holidays, but their increase are most notable during this time.
Experts say it could be because of the stress related to holidays, the expectations involving celebration, additional financial demands, leading also to alcoholism and narcotics for the stressed ones. Midland Police Department's criminal analysis department reports show that a total of 6,192 emergency calls of domestic violence were made during the months November and December over the past five years. And the number only is slated to go up, unless the core issues are addressed.
