The Puerto Rico Statistics Institute and the Puerto Rico Department of Justice signed an agreement that will enable the use of data, on the level of risk of victims in cases of domestic violence, with the purpose of creating new policies and strategies to prevent intimate femicide.

As part of the “Interagency Agreement for the Disclosure of Sociodemographic Data on Victims of Domestic Violence,” the Department of Justice will share with the Institute the results of the risk assessments that prosecutors carry out on victims of domestic violence to analyze the scale of risk and danger of death they face.

The data and statistics that will be generated, through these epidemiological processes, can be used to identify possible determinants, risk factors and vulnerabilities. As a result of this agreement, the Puerto Rico Statistics Institute will be able to provide complete, reliable statistics with quick and universal access, with the purpose of helping to prevent violence and intimate femicide.
