Domestic Violence Homicide Reports and Homicide Prevention Project

Since 2000, End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin (WCADV) has been researching, documenting and publishing an annual report detailing domestic violence-related homicides in Wisconsin.  In doing so, our intent is to honor the victims and survivors of domestic violence homicide. We also want to support Wisconsin communities to create opportunities for intervention and prevention of homicide.  We hope to expand the understanding of the dynamics of domestic violence among Coordinated Community Response (CCR) Teams, Elder Abuse Interdisciplinary Teams, and other critical systems where those living with domestic violence, whether as the primary target of the violence or the perpetrator, might seek help, assistance, support and opportunities to change.  Through our annual reporting, we hope to inspire community members to get involved in efforts to prevent domestic violence.

June, 2012: we will soon be piloting a Homicide Prevention Project, which aims to strategically address Key Themes uncovered from the 11 years of Homicide Reports (See the end of 2010 report for description of themes).  The project will be implemented via local CCR teams who are interested in addressing the themes specific to their communities.  The announcement below provides more detail on what this project will entail.  Stay tuned!

2009 Wisconsin Domestic Violence Homicide Report

Continuing the work launched in 2000 with publication of the first Wisconsin Domestic Violence Homicide Report, this edition details domestic violence-related homicides in the calendar year 2009. This brief accounting in no way represents the victims’ full lives. Within the limitations of readily available public information, we have endeavored to construct as accurate a description as possible of key events and circumstances related to each homicide.

2008 Wisconsin Domestic Violence Homicide Report

This edition details domestic violence-related homicides in the calendar year 2008. This brief accounting in no way represents the victims’ full lives. That would require a far more detailed inquiry, in-depth study of official case records, and conversations with family and friends left behind. Within the limitations of readily available public information we have endeavored to construct as accurate a description as possible of key events and circumstances related to each homicide.

Domestic Violence Homicide Response Plan

WCADV’s Homicide Response Plan was developed by a workgroup comprised of Executive Directors from
domestic violence and dual programs who came together as a result of experiencing and
responding to domestic violence homicides in their own communities. Our objective with this
document is to provide a framework for programs and their communities to develop a plan that
will provide guidance in responding to a domestic violence homicide, whether the victim had
been a client or not. We hope to assist communities in responding in a supportive and
collaborative manner that encourages the further growth of their commitment to working together to end violence.
