| dc.description.notes | This article discusses the findings from a national US study of homicide of women, which found that only about half of the 456 women killed or almost killed by a husband, boyfriend, ex-husband or ex-boyfriend had accurately perceived their risk of being killed by their abusive partner. Women were unlikely to overestimate their risk; many underestimated the severity of the situation. The US intimate partner femicide study found that domestic violence advocates had seen few of the victims of actual or attempted intimate partner femicide during the year before they were killed. They were more likely to have been seen in the health care system. Discussions on the findings relate to the criminal justice system, the health care system, and the advocacy and shelter system. It concludes that advocates, health professionals and criminal justice providers should regard the woman’s fear as an important sign of increased risk and to make safety planning, such as strong advocacy and risk-reduction strategies (extended shelter residence, removal of the batterer by incarceration, high bail or high-level probation supervision). It finds that the existing risk assessment instruments are not fully validated and will never be perfectly predictive. | en |
