The COVID-19 pandemic increased rates of domestic violence globally, with no proven method to reduce abuser recidivism. Our project aimed to develop a reformative procedure to decrease cases of domestic violence. We designed a durable model thigh, able to endure strong impacts and provide visual feedback on the damaging effect of the blows. We implemented software to gauge impact intensity, and created a qualitative evaluation process to assess the model's effectiveness as an educational tool for mitigating domestic violence recurrence.
