RELATIONSHIP LETHALITY CHECKLlST

This questionnaire is designed to help to help you decide if you are living in an abusive situation. There are different forms of abuse, and not every person experiences all of them. Below are various questions about your relationship. As you can see, each possible answer has points assigned to it. By answering each question, and then totaling these points as directed, you can compare your score with the abuse index. You will know if you are living in a potentially violent situation; and if abuse is occurring, you will have an estimate of how lethal the abuse is.

  • A person with a score of 0 - 33 lives in a non-abusive relationship. These kinds of strains are not usual in modern homes, and you and your partner deal with them nonviolently.
  • A person with a score of 34 -72 lives in a home where violence has been experienced, at least once in a while. In a new relationship, when your partner is on their "best behavior" you need to take this as a serious warning sign. If this is how your partner is "well behaved", then what are the possibilities for "bad behavior"? If this is a relationship you have been in for many years, your partner's actions are far from acceptable, although they may not cause you physical, you may not be in a life threatening situation, yet. A person who is in a moderately abusive situation should seek counseling.
  • A person with a score of 73 - 111 lives in a dangerously abuse situation. This situation can easily, and for no apparent reason become letl1al. In a dangerously abusive situation, serious injuries are quite probable, if they have not already occurred. Most of thus abuse occurs in the form of assault. Pure and simple, a person in tlus situation should seek counseling and go into a safe shelter.
  • A person with a score of 112 - 150 is in a potentially lethal environment! The violence will not go away or magically disappear. Chances are the life of you and your children are in jeopardy most of the time. At this time it is advisable that you make the decision to get out. Get away from the situation as soon as possible.
