Sara tool
All the police districts should now be taken in using the tool SARA (Spousal Assault Assessment Guide) to better assess the risk of further violence. (Read more about the tool below.)
Tove Smaadahl manager of women’s Shelter and have dealt with violence against women and domestic violence for nearly three decades.
– That the police did not apply SARA tool nor proceeded with the case in terms of a review, the misconduct. Serious dereliction of duty, she says to Dagbladet.
– He the friend who accompanied the woman to the police station, saying that he would report psychological violence, and it is evident of VG her case that she were met at the said Smaadahl, who also asks himself:
– Have Finnmark police at all implemented SARA tool? One can also ask whether the right person with the right skills met the woman on Friday, saying Smaadahl, saying that based on how she looks matter, so were several of the risk factors in SARA utility present.
– in the first place the police that she was at a shelter. When should a great beacon calling the police. Secondly, she was of foreign origin, which suggests that they have to ask her about the violence. The man was also unemployed and cohabitation between them were related. Most partner homicide committed in violation phase concludes Smaadahl.
– should be used
police Directorate private tutor to the police districts about SARA tool, it says that ‘SARA: SV should be used within all cases of domestic violence in relationships. The tool assesses the level of risk for future violence and severity of violence can be. Ultimately finds murder danger. The aim of the use of SARA: SV is to prevent the emergence of new violence. “
Daae says that they will see whether they would handled the incident where the woman contacted police last week differently.
– what we have said is that we will go after seeing what information we received that day. After that we will consider whether we have done what we should, but we need to get more information about the case. What I’ve seen so far is that we perceived that the inquiry to us from her concerned an administrative decision and that she was unsure of the situation of cohabitation and wanted to know what happened to the residence permit to his son after a breakup. Other things when it comes to divorce, are things that are beyond what we basically are doing, says Daae Dagbladet.
– Should it have been completed a SARA-form last week when she turned to you?
– We’ll try to figure it out. By what I’ve seen, so I do not see that we should have done it. It was not necessarily a SARA-form we should have filled, but we’ll see if we could have handled the matter differently on Friday, saying Daae.
– Particular attention
The use of SARA tool can provide better opportunities to identify the partner violence cases with the highest risks to escalate to partner homicide.
the study “partner murder in Norway 1990-2012 ‘, introduced last year, show that complex and extensive loads such as substance abuse and depression disorders, weak labor market attachment, connection with other crimes, immigrant background, lack of citizenship and previous suicidal behavior, are all among the factors that increase the risk of partner violence cases escalates
– SARA tool allows police can better see the different risk factors in the context and can insert right measures to reduce the risk, said researcher Solveig KB Vatnar as led partner homicide study, said.
Public Prosecutions has responded to the domestic violence:
“Domestic violence can be so severe that it is covered by the Attorney General’s central priorities, and such matters must be given special attention. A prerequisite to combat and detect violence and domestic abuse, is that the victim has confidence that the police and prosecutors are able to provide protection against further abuse and violations of the perpetrator’s side. “
The form which police must fill in domestic violence cases is page 64 and further in this document.
