Domestic Violence Arrests in NYC Rise 10% Annually - Over 55,000 Children Affected

NEW YORK - EntSun -- Newly released domestic violence statistics in New York City reveal a troubling trend: domestic violence arrests are increasing by approximately 10% each year, placing thousands of families and children at heightened risk. In 2024 alone, law enforcement recorded cases involving more than 55,000 children, representing nearly half of all domestic violence incidents citywide. These alarming numbers have triggered an unprecedented surge in ACS and CPS investigations which underscores the urgent need for legal defense.

According to the recent crime statistics, domestic violence investigations that stem from these arrests led to over 50,000 investigations by the Administration for Children's Services (ACS) in 2024. Each ACS investigation evaluates whether a child's safety or well-being is at risk, potentially resulting in court involvement, mandated services, or even temporary removal of children from their homes. For families already experiencing trauma, the impact of a CPS investigation can be overwhelming and life-altering.

"Too many parents assume that cooperating without legal counsel is a safe option. ACS investigations are legal proceedings with long-term consequences. Having an ACS lawyer or CPS attorney from the outset will help to protect your parental rights while ensuring your child's safety."

In many cases, domestic violence allegations result in simultaneous legal challenges: criminal charges, family court proceedings, and child protective services involvement. Parents and caregivers may suddenly find themselves navigating interviews with caseworkers, court orders, safety plans, and evaluations—all while coping with the underlying domestic violence allegations.

The Growing Role of ACS and CPS Investigations
The sharp increase in domestic violence arrests has placed extraordinary pressure on ACS caseworkers and the Family Court system. More than 50,000 ACS investigations in a single year reflects not only the scale of the crisis but also the growing likelihood that families will encounter child welfare authorities following a domestic violence arrest.
