“…Accurate risk assessment requires information from preceding calls and knowledge of associated risk factors, particularly related to the end of a relationship (Anderson & Saunders, 2003;Romans et al, 2007). Responses to risk assessment questions commonly rely on information provided by victims (Kebbell, 2019), who may appear uncooperative by refusing to respond (Carter & Grommon, 2016;Johnson, 2004), or may be distrustful of officers (Goodman-Delahunty & Crehan, 2016), whom victims experience as unfair or blaming (Stewart et al, 2013).
