What drives Gender-Based Violence and what are the main risk factors? How can we effectively address and prevent it? Today's blog shares evidence on VoxDev that shines a light on these questions ⤵️ https://t.co/Dq1bLsPyJu

What else happens when you give families access to food stamps? Kids in those families are much less likely to commit a crime as a direct result. "The...benefits from [food stamp's] later crime reduction exceed the costs of the program."

It has huge negative impacts on the women. Bindler & Ketel (2022) find that reported IPV➡️ 18% ⬇️ in earnings & ⬆️ welfare benefits by 42%. Adams et al (2024) find that they experience economic costs of being with an abusive man, even if they do not report the abuse themselves.

Most of it remains unreported. Of the women who have experienced physical violence or threats and/or sexual violence in their lifetime, only 20.5 % have contacted a healthcare service or social service provider, and 13.9 % have reported the incident to the police.

Report from @EU_Eurostat released today: One in every 3 women (31.8%) in Europe has experienced physical violence or threats, sexual violence and/or psychological violence (IPV) over the course of their lives by an intimate partner. 1 out of 3!

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. It's a topic that I think is really important and is my main research agenda. I even got to give a TEDx talk last week on it. Some key facts: ⤵️

Evermore today, it's important to understand how global events lead to a contagion of hate far away from the event's occurrence and how exogenous shocks can change how residents perceive local minority groups as an out-group threat. Link to paper:

A peak in hate crimes on the second and third day following an attack features frequently. Islamophobia is not only an immediate response to an attack but is additionally incited by the ways in which the media present news on perpetrators and victims.

We find that attacks with British or Western victims or occurring in Western Europe➡️get covered in british media➡️change out-group hate crimes. Attacks that are not salient to the local population, despite having more victims, lead to little UK media coverage and no backlash.

We find that following 10 international terror attacks, Islamophobic hate crime surged & remained higher for 3 weeks. Using data on victims & reporting method, we show that this is not driven by changes in reporting, policing or victim awareness, but by an increase in incidence.

🚨How do international events shape local hate crime against minorities?🚨 We study the effects of international terror attacks on out-group hate crimes against Muslims using data in Manchester over 10 yrs. W/ @KirchmaierTom & @s_machin_ in the Journal of Law & Economics⤵️
