© Lethality Assessment Program, a project of MNADV Background Lethality Assessment Process of identifying victims of domestic violence who are in danger of being killed. Lethality Assessment Program—Maryland Model (LAP) Identifying victims of domestic violence who are at the greatest risk of being killed, and Encouraging them to utilize the services of a domestic violence service program Slide 2 © Lethality Assessment Program, a project of MNADV www.lethalityassessmentprogram.org

Activity: Training Video “Lethality Assessment: ‘Something’s gonna happen’” Slide 3 © Lethality Assessment Program, a project of MNADV www.lethalityassessmentprogram.org

When to Initiate the Lethality Screen Only in cases of intimate relationships and a manifestation of danger: When you believe there’s been an assault or act of domestic violence, When you believe the victim faces danger when you leave, When the home or parties are repeats, or When your gut tells you that the situation is dangerous. Slide 4 © Lethality Assessment Program, a project of MNADV www.lethalityassessmentprogram.org

Initiating the Lethality Screen Approach the Lethality Screen simply, positively, and privately with the victim. Advise the victim you would like to ask her/him some questions to get a better idea of her/his situation. Slide 5 © Lethality Assessment Program, a project of MNADV www.lethalityassessmentprogram.org

© Lethality Assessment Program, a project of MNADV Non-High Danger Non-High Danger victims are not at the same level of danger as High- Danger victims and therefore do not warrant the same urgent level of communication. Advise victim that domestic violence situations are dangerous. Advise victim to look for signs of danger. Vigorously refer victim to domestic violence program. Give victim officer’s contact information. Slide 8 © Lethality Assessment Program, a project of MNADV www.lethalityassessmentprogram.org

© Lethality Assessment Program, a project of MNADV High Danger Advise victims they are in danger, that people in their situation have been killed. Call hotline. Provide basic information. Victim speaks with hotline (officer stands-by). Officer speaks with hotline again. Slide 9 © Lethality Assessment Program, a project of MNADV www.lethalityassessmentprogram.org

High Danger: Victim declines to speak to the advocate If the victim initially declines, Still contact the domestic violence program Ask the victim to reconsider speaking with the hotline advocate Call the hotline While still on the phone with the hotline advocate, ask the victim if they have reconsidered If the victim continues to decline, Reiterate that victim is in a dangerous situation Engage in basic safety planning with the victim through the advocate Inform the victim to watch for lethality predictors Ask for contact information for follow-up Encourage the victim to utilize the domestic violence program’s services Provide the victim with the officer’s contact information © Lethality Assessment Program, a project of MNADV www.lethalityassessmentprogram.org Slide 10

High Danger: Victim agrees to speak to the advocate Advise victims they are in danger, that people in their situation have been killed. Call hotline. Provide basic information. Victim speaks with hotline (officer stands- by). Officer speaks with hotline again. Slide 11 © Lethality Assessment Program, a project of MNADV www.lethalityassessmentprogram.org

Administrative Decisions Which phone are officers going to use in the LAP? (If applicable): How will body-worn cameras and/or recording devices be used in the LAP? What will officers write about the LAP in their report narrative? How will Screens be transmitted to the DVSP (e.g., scanned/faxed, faxed)? Who is responsible for transmitting the Screens? How quickly will Screens be expected to be transmitted? Slide 12 © Lethality Assessment Program, a project of MNADV www.lethalityassessmentprogram.org
