What This Howard Research Means in the Real World | Do Eviction Moratoria Decrease Intimate Partner Violence?

Howard faculty, Linchi Hsu, Alexander Henke, and Jeffrey Galloway, recently published a paper entitled 'Do Eviction Moratoria Decrease Intimate Partner Violence?' in the Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics.

This paper examines how emergency housing policies enacted during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic impacted rates of domestic violence in the United States. The authors analyzed state-level eviction moratoria that were implemented prior to the broader federal mandate by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
