improve services for victims of domestic abuse
If you find an error
Domestic homicide reviews are manually coded when we upload them.
If you believe one has the wrong code, email [email protected] with the subject “Miscoding of [name of domestic homicide review]”. For example, if it has been coded as a homicide instead of a suicide.
