Domestic Violence

Domestic violence research is increasingly focusing on understanding its multifaceted nature, moving beyond the traditionally emphasized female victimization to include male victims and exploring diverse contexts. Current studies utilize machine learning techniques, including convolutional neural networks, ensemble models (like CatBoost and RoBERTa), and explainable AI methods (SHAP and LIME), to analyze data from various sources, such as social media and mobile phone location data, to identify risk factors and improve prediction models. This work is significant for informing the development of targeted interventions and policies aimed at preventing and mitigating domestic violence, ultimately improving public health and safety. The use of readily available data sources, like anonymized mobile phone location data, offers promising avenues for large-scale analysis and prediction.
