| Summary: | This paper analyzes the incidence and extent to which
domestic violence and physical harassment on public/
private buses is underreported in Kerala, India, using
the list randomization technique. The results indicate
that the level of underreporting is over nine percentage
points for domestic violence and negligible for physical
harassment on public/private buses. Urban households,
especially poor urban households, tend to have higher
levels of incidence of domestic violence. Further, women
and those who are professionally educated tend to under-
report more than others. Under reporting is also higher
among the youngest and oldest age cohorts. For physical
harassment on public/private buses, rural population—
especially the rural non-poor and urban females—tend to
under report compared with the rural poor and urban males. |
