How Lethality Assessments help police track domestic violence in Utah

 

1 in 4 women (24.3%) and 1 in 7 men (13.8%) aged 18 and older in the US have been the victim of severe physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime according to thehotline.org. October is Domestic Violence Awareness month. Dave and Greg look at an important tool in identifying potentially deadly relationships. Senator Todd Weiler joins the show to discuss how often lethality assessments are used and if there has been an increase since the state of Utah required law enforcements to use them when responding to intimate partner violence.
