Access Episode 2 of Season 2 of “The Institute of Statistics: The Podcast.”

In this new episode, Dr. Idania Rodríguez Ayuso, Deputy Executive Director of the Institute, discusses “The Silence That Precedes Homicide,” as part of the Collective Action for Violence Prevention in Puerto Rico Symposium.

In the second half of 2024, 2,149 domestic violence cases were evaluated in Puerto Rico. The statistic is devastating: 1 in 4 complainants faces an imminent risk of death. Risk assessment is not just a protocol; it is the bridge between a complaint and a protected life. Identifying lethality before it occurs is our collective mission.
