DASH RIC
A set of 27 questions used to identify, assess and manage risk:
Separation (Victims are at greatest risk of homicide at the
point of separation or after leaving - 22% of women have been
assaulted after separation)
Pregnancy (30% of domestic violence begins in pregnancy)
Alcohol/drugs/mental health problems (Risk to the victim is
greater)
Mistreatment of animals (this kind of intimidation is
common and often used as a way to control and frighten)
