Domestic homicide cannot be separated from domestic violence. Victims have often been in contact with key agencies for assistance prior to their death. The speed and/or quality of service providers' responses to abused individual's emergency requests may have a direct bearing on whether or not a serious assault becomes a homicide. The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) developed a new system of Multi-agency Domestic Violence Murder Reviews to examine and explore the positives and negatives of the support previously offered to victims. These reviews aim to ensure that any lessons are learned in time to prevent similar tragedies occurring in the future.This article outlines the findings of the reviews and the development of the SPECSS+ Domestic Violence Risk Identification, Assessment and Management Model. Evidence already exists that the SPECSS+ helps front fine practitioners to target and focus interventions to prevent further violence and homicide.  cBedforddAutumn 2006vVol. 2, issue 2tThe Journal of Homicide and Major Incident Investigationx2370-1600pp. 53-72  aVIOLÊNCIA DOMÉSTICA  aHOMICÍDIO  aVITIMAÇÃO  aREINO UNIDO  aRICHARDSbLaura
