Domestic Violence in San Diego 2016_2020

Data Source:
One recent report by the San Diego Association of Governments, also known as SANDAG, revealed that the San Diego region saw a 3 percent increase in domestic violence in the first half of 2020 over the same period last year. SANDAG’s data shows more notable increases in domestic violence in certain local communities: Santee (18 percent); El Cajon (18 percent); and National City (74 percent). Meanwhile, statistics cited by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence indicate that one in three female murder victims are killed by intimate partners and that an abuser’s access to a firearm increases the risk of femicide significantly.
Santee (18 percent) El Cajon (18 percent) National City (74 percent)

Cautions:
Crime incident reports are collected and reported by field officers from various different law enforcement agencies
Data is collected by 19 different agencies. Each law enforcement departments practice different policies, that can result in different categorizations, codifications.
Many incident reports could be generated using the same single location block. Because all of the crimes on a block are geocoded to the middle of the block, many incidents will appear as a single point.
Some incidents are not geocoded.
Some incident might have multipple report IDs due to multiple suspects or/and victims or multiple crimes
Some incidents might have victims but no suspects
Some incidents might have suspect but no victim
All data: all city/county law enforcement agencies
From 2016 to July 2020
Data Quality might change due to available information at different crime scenarios
filtering data with identifiable suspects
- Clarification : multiple crime report IDs are generated for each crime, with victim(s) and with suspect(s).
- Some crime incidents might have victims not, with no identifiable suspects, such as car theft
- Counting all crime report might lead to double counting number of some crime incidents, especially domestic crimes.
