HSRA (Homicide Safety Risk Assessment)

The Homicide Zero Methodology
It's Not About What Happened. It's About What Could.
The Homicide Zero methodology is built on decades of research in violence prevention, risk assessment, and intervention strategies. Our tools are designed to be practical, effective, and easy to implement across various settings including schools, healthcare facilities, law enforcement agencies, and community organizations. Our comprehensive dashboard manages the complete workflow for behavioral threat assessments, streamlining coordination between team members and ensuring consistent case management protocols.
Our three-tiered system brings clarity to the complex problem of threat assessment. It begins with rapid screening to efficiently identify concerns, followed by a comprehensive assessment for a deeper evaluation. The final tier is the comprehensive report, which measures the individual's threat level and includes our Resource Matching Guidance as a series of clear, actionable Safety Steps. These personalized, evidence-based recommendations match specific interventions to the individual's unique risk profile, providing a clear, actionable plan to mitigate risks and increase protective factors.

Commitment to Students with Disabilities
We understand the importance of a safe and supportive educational environment for all students. The tools offer many unique and powerful features, including crucial off-ramps for individuals with disabilities who may make a threat to ensure that students with disabilities are treated with fairness and respect.
Our tools have specific provisions that stop the process at certain stages to protect the rights of students with disabilities. These crucial safeguards, such as determining if a threat is a manifestation of their disability, ensure a student is not unfairly punished for their behavior.
Built-in Protections for Students with Disabilities
Both the HTS and HSRA include specialized protocols and decision points that ensure fair treatment and appropriate accommodations for students with disabilities, preventing discrimination while maintaining safety for all.
