Domestic homicide reviews
The key purpose for undertaking domestic homicide reviews (DHR) is to enable lessons to be learned from homicides where a person is killed as a result of domestic violence, abuse or neglect.
In order for these lessons to be learned as widely and thoroughly as possible, professionals need to be able to understand fully what happened in each homicide, and most importantly, what needs to change in order to reduce the risk of such tragedies happening in the future.
Since their introduction in 2011, Domestic Homicide Reviews have been published on the Birmingham Community Safety Partnership’s website – and were migrated to Birmingham City Council’s website in 2019.
Birmingham City Council is the secretariat for Birmingham Community Safety Partnership and is responsible for publishing these reviews.
