Redefining Safety: What to Do if a Victim Says "No" to Shelter

This article, co-authored by Attorney Chadwick, explains how one community came together in the wake of a tragic domestic violence homicide to change the way it responds to domestic violence. The article challenges the premise that if a victim is really at risk from an abusive partner, she must leave the relationship and flee to shelter. We advocate for a better way to identify and intervene in High Risk Domestic Violence Cases. The system must work collaboratively to identify high risk offenders and contain and monitor their behavior rather than expect the victim to turn to the shelter as a safety net.
