England World Cup wins and losses linked to 30 percent rise in domestic violence

"...Professor Brimicombe believes there is a strong case for schools to educate pupils of the dangers of domestic violence, event organisers should promote initiatives that tackle domestic violence and that police forces should prepare themselves for peaks in domestic violence around major sporting events. "Domestic violence is widespread, accounting for 15 percent of all violent crimes and 35 percent of murders in the UK...."I hope that the findings will encourage improved education around the links between major sporting events and peaks in domestic violence and greater awareness of the risk."
