A comprehensive new study by Tulane University’s Newcomb Institute and the University of California San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy has quantified the staggering economic impact of intimate partner ********* in California, revealing billions in costs that deeply affect survivors, communities and taxpayers across the state.

The report, “

,” reveals a cost of $73.7 billion to the state in health care, lost productivity and income and ********* justice and response program spending for domestic ********* cases in 2022 alone. This is about 2% of the ****** domestic product for California.

“Too often, states do not recognize the economic as well as social and health costs resulting from intimate partner ********* for survivors, families of victims and the state as a whole,” said Anita Raj, executive director of Newcomb Institute and lead author of the report and former UC San Diego professor of medicine and education studies.

“These costs show the economic case for increased investment in prevention programs and reforms to effectively respond to domestic *********.”

The report, which draws on data from the

(CalVEX), led by the Newcomb Institute at Tulane and the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy, found the fiscal impact of intimate partner ********* amounts to almost a quarter of the state’s annual budget.

Costs are in part due to the pervasiveness of this ********* against women in the state. More than half of California women experience intimate partner ********* in their lifetime, according to the CalVEX survey released last fall.

One in 30 women—more than 460,000 in California—experienced physical and/or ******* ********* from a partner in just the past year and those reporting these abuses in the past year faced greater health and social risks.

“Women who experienced intimate partner ********* in the past year are more likely to be contending with depression, anxiety, and suicidality, and they are also more likely to have faced recent eviction,” said Jakana Thomas, a professor of political science at the School of Global Policy and Strategy and co-author on the report. “Preventing this ********* has to be prioritized if we are going to address the mental health and homelessness crises in this state.”

California is one of only two states to tally the economic toll of domestic *********. Newcomb Institute and Brookings Institute released a report earlier this year, titled

which found that domestic ********* cost Louisiana $10.1 billion in 2022 alone. The monetary costs per survivor amounted to approximately $105,602 annually, or 2.5 times more than the average wage earned by women in Louisiana.

The new analysis for Louisiana and California draws attention to the underreporting of intimate partner ********* to the authorities, which is a common challenge across the country and around the world that is often attributed to women’s ***** of consequences from reporting and lack of trust in the ********* justice system.
