DV RISC Exchange: Lethality Risk Factor- Strangulation
Join Center for Justice Innovation-DV RISC onĀ Wednesday AprilĀ 12Ā from 4-5pm ET for the DV RISC Exchange, to learn more aboutĀ ‘Lethality Risk Factor- Strangulation.“
“Strangulation has been identified as one of the most lethal forms of domestic violence and sexual assault: unconsciousness may occur within seconds and death within minutes. When domestic violence perpetrators choke (strangle) their victims, especially to the point of unconsciousness, it is not only a felony but it may be an attempted homicide. Strangulation is an ultimate form ofĀ power and controlĀ that canĀ have a devastating psychological effect on victims. The inability to breathe is one of the most terrifying events a person can endure.”
This Exchange will be led by Joe Bianco,Ā Law Enforcement Support CoordinatorĀ from the Training Institute on Strangulation Prevention (a project of Alliance for HOPE International).”
Registrations close Tuesday AprilĀ 11Ā @ 12pm ET.Ā
