Number of Domestic Violence

Victims in NY Rises in 2022

The number of domestic violence victims increased in 2022 by 8.5% in New York City and 8.7% in the rest of the State when compared to 2019, according to an analysis by State Comptroller DiNapoli. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 4 women and 1 in 10 men have experienced sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner during their lifetime.

“Domestic violence has a devastating effect on individuals and families, often causing permanent physical injury and emotional trauma,” DiNapoli said. “With increased numbers of domestic violence victims across the State over the past three years, it’s important to know how to get help and how to identify signs of trouble. State and local agencies also must redouble their efforts to make seeking help and receiving services as easy as possible for victims.”
