What is the independent variable of this research question?

Are certain groups of individuals more likely to commit domestic violence against women?





Im really confused about this. IF there isnt an independent and dependent variable there can you re-write it and show me a better example of the same question Please? Thankkkk You!!What is the independent variable of this research question?
In your question the likelihood of committing domestic violence *depends* on the group of individuals. So the likelihood of committing domestic violence is your dependant variable, and the group of individuals is your independent variable.
