This workshop will explore the complex relationship between suicide and intimate partner violence, examining the tensions, challenges and opportunities in policy and practice. It is devastating when an intimate partner violence victim takes their own life because they are subject to such torment, pain and entrapment. To prevent such suicides, it is essential to strengthen coordinated responses to both victims and perpetrators.

Through the lens of social entrapment and coercive control, this workshop will explore how patterns of threat and risk posed by perpetrators of intimate partner violence can lead to suicide by victims. Using Jane Monckton-Smith’s 8-stage timeline of coerced suicide, this workshop will encourage critical reflection and practice possibilities to strengthen risk assessment, safety planning, multi-agency cooperation, and documentation.

Responding to crime and other demands for police service requires measuring these in a way that accounts for wide variations in types of crime and incidents—not all are equal, yet have traditionally been counted equally. Crime Harm Indices (CHIs) have been increasingly adopted in recent years to help factor in differences between crime types, based on the amount of harm they cause. But CHIs are crime specific and don’t tell the whole demand story.

This webinar introduces a complementary tool to help factor in differences between crime and other demand types. The Police Response Effort Index (PREI) differentiates crime and demand types by the amount of effort (time) it takes police in responding to them. This seminar describes the PREI and presents some examples of how it can be used to provide additional insights into crime and demand
