UCSD Survey Indicates Rise in Violence, Drug Abuse in State During Pandemic


Other findings include a 3% increase in reports of physical violence, including threats with a weapon, and a 3% increase in reports of online sexual harassment.
"The outward effects of the pandemic on health and the economy are just the tip of the iceberg," said Anita Raj, director of the Center on Gender Equity and Health at UCSD and lead researcher on the survey. "Less visible effects of the pandemic include more violence, harassment and substance misuse, compounding stress felt in communities across the state. Latinx and Asian Californians are especially likely to witness this increased violence in their communities."
The survey also took into account the rise in political and social activism seen in 2020 and its apparent effects on firearm possession.
