More than a million acts of domestic violence and intimate partner violence occur in any given year. Twenty-two percent of DV/IPV fatalities are gun-related. The presence of a gun in a DV/IPV incident increases the risk of homicide for women by 500 percent.
This training was designed to help pretrial system stakeholders and their community partners develop effective responses—both pretrial and in the broader criminal legal system—to address and reduce firearm-related harm in DV/IPV cases.
I would take this training again and again and feel like I could constantly learn something new.
