Danger Assessment preliminary results - January - June 2024

The Department of Justice's Danger Assessment Instrument Findings Report for the first half of 2024 provides a detailed analysis of the levels of dangerousness in cases of domestic violence in Puerto Rico. Based on data collected from 2,021 women complainants, key risk factors and patterns are identified that require priority attention. This report includes descriptive statistics on the complainants, relative risk analyses for the factors evaluated and adjusted rates by municipality, providing a clearer and more accurate view of the problem. In addition, disparities between levels of dangerousness (variable and increasing versus severe and extreme) are highlighted, emphasizing the need for an effective and timely institutional response to prevent lethal violence.
