In the United States of America alone, from 960,000 to 3,000,000 domestic violence cases are reported in a year, which is not even a complete figure since some incidents are not reported. This is an especially sensitive aspect of crime since it hits home, literally. The adverse effects of domestic abuse have being projected to affect the society as a whole due to increased crime rates. The children who are brought up being exposed to such violence are at a high risk of involving themselves in such vises as crime and drug abuse, thus affecting society as well as having significant economic implications for the future. A study involving hotspot policing in Jersey City put more patrol cars in 11 zones for the study (Braga, Turchan, Papachristos & Hureau, 2019). The affected zones were sensitized of the need to report any incidences to the police and were guaranteed a fast response. This resulted in an increased amount of domestic violence calls initially which eventually subsided due to the beneficial effects of the program. Out of the 11 zones that the program was implemented, 10 reported a decrease in domestic violence.
