This study, published in the NIJ Journal, examines the effectiveness of the Danger Assessment tool in predicting the risk of intimate partner homicide. The tool consists of 15 questions designed to measure the level of danger faced by women in abusive relationships. The research found that women who score 8 or higher on the assessment are at grave risk of being killed, while those who score 4 or higher are at great risk. The study highlights the importance of using such tools to help women understand their risk and develop safety plans, although it also notes limitations and the need for precise cutoff scores to avoid unnecessary fear or misclassification
