Summary
The Domestic Violence High Risk Team (DVHRT) Model, created by the Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center in 2005, is an innovative strategy to prevent domestic violence homicides and is grounded in the work of Dr. Jacquelyn Campbell, PhD, RN, FAAN, a leading researcher in the field of intimate partner homicide. The DVHRT Model leverages predictability by incorporating evidence-based risk assessment into a community’s domestic violence response system to identify and intervene in the most dangerous cases.
