NIJ Safety, Health, and Wellness Strategic Research Plan

Research on a risk screening program for victims of domestic violence shows that the program can increase help seeking and safety planning, and decrease violence. But it showed mixed results on predicting lethal violence.

In this NIJ-funded study, the research team examined whether mediation identified and helped to address intimate partner violence and whether resulting agreements included safety provisions.

Reviews of 'sentinel events' can shift the emphasis away from blame and toward risk mitigation and continuous improvement.
