Lethality Assessment Program - Maryland Model. Program Overview and Impact in WI
Extensive research into circumstances surrounding intimate partner violence homicides has revealed certain indicators that are predictive of experiencing lethal or near-lethal violence. This same body of research has also found that a more proactive connection to domestic violence advocacy services is effective at reducing instances of severe assault, yet, only about 4% of those killed in intimate partner violence homicides had ever availed themselves to services on their own.
Join End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin and representatives from Oconto County to learn more about the essential elements of the LAP protocol and how the LAP, coupled with a high-risk team approach, has had tangible results in Marinette and Oconto Counties. Attendees will hear about the no-cost training and technical assistance available to Wisconsin jurisdictions interested in implementing the LAP, the importance of receiving training in partnership with domestic violence advocates, and an overview of LAP data collected from over 100 jurisdictions in Wisconsin.

We will focus on firearm restrictions related to convictions for misdemeanor domestic violence and to domestic violence restraining orders, focusing on evidence regarding whether they impact intimate partner homicide rates.

Evidence-Based Investigation and Prosecution
This presentation will discuss how to use available evidence to prove crimes of domestic abuse without an engaged victim. Using 911 calls, medical records, jail calls, and technology can make what is initially thought of as an unprovable incident of domestic abuse, provable. Holding an offender accountable and protecting victims who cannot help us protect them can be accomplished in these challenging cases with the right tactics when the right evidence is available.
