Incidences of Violence Increased During the COVID-19 Pandemic New data reports that increases in violence have indeed occurred, as well as increases in incidences of discrimination. The University of California San Diego researchers and NORC at the University of Chicago conducted a survey at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March of 2020, and then again in March of 2021. This study design allowed a direct comparison of data from the start of pandemic-related shutdowns and then again one year later.
