This study focuses on the relationship between women's risk of homicide as measured by the Danger Assessment and 13 protective actions. Participants (N = 432) experienced an incident of police involved intimate partner violence (IPV) and subsequently completed a structured telephone interview. Most women in this sample experienced severe violence and were classified as being at high risk for homicide. Participants engaged in an average of 3.81 (SD = 2.73) protective actions. With the exception of the use of formal domestic violence services, women in the high-risk category were significantly more likely than women in the lower risk category to have used each of the protective actions examined. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
本研究聚焦于通过危险评估衡量的女性遭受杀人伤害风险与13种保护行为之间的关系。参与者（N = 432）经历了一起涉及警察的亲密伴侣暴力事件，随后完成了一次结构化电话访谈。该样本中的大多数女性经历了严重暴力，并被归类为杀人伤害高风险人群。参与者平均采取了3.81种（标准差 = 2.73）保护行为。除了使用正式的家庭暴力服务外，高风险类别的女性比低风险类别的女性更有可能采取所考察的每一种保护行为。文中讨论了该研究对研究和实践的启示。
