LOCAL FATALITY REVIEW TEAM DATA ANALYSIS The descriptive statistics in the 2017 report are based on information that local teams obtained from reviewing domestic violence homicides in their communities. The reviews may include both intimate partner homicides and other domestic violence deaths. When possible, the data points are based on information collected from all 30 reviews submitted by local teams. In some instances however, statistics are based on different totals. This is either due to non-applicability or missing information for any given review. Therefore, the totals may not always equal the total sum of 100. The total number of cases used to calculate each statistic is provided in parentheses. In one out of the 30 cases reviewed this year, the reviewers identified the perpetrator of the homicide as acting in self-defense to domestic violence. This review was excluded in the descriptive statistics that inquire about specific details of perpetrators or decedents because of the unique circumstances surrounding that homicide. The evidence-based research on known risk factors is based on cases of femicide, which are male perpetrated homicides on their female partners. Therefore, information on the breakdown of known risk factors contains data on the 24 deaths that were a result of femicide.
