- Massachusetts communities are learning to predict — and prevent — domestic violence homicide
Massachusetts communities have adopted a coordinated approach through the Domestic Violence High Risk Team model to identify and respond to dangerous domestic violence cases. The model, inspired by research on risk factors like threats, strangulation, and firearm access, aims to connect police, advocates, and prosecutors to prevent homicides by addressing warning signs collaboratively.
