The 2010 Updated Model Strategies and Practical Measures on the Elimination of Violence against Women in the Field of Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice requires criminal justice officials, such as the police and victims’/survivors’ advocates, to conduct risk assessments that indicate the level or extent of harm that victims/survivors may be subjected to, based on their position of vulnerability, the threats to which they are exposed, the presence of weapons and other determining factors.
