N2  - Given our less-than-successful attempts thus far to stem the growing carnage associated with domestic violence homicides, this report offers a refreshing breath of hope. As described here, the model developed in Newburyport, Massachusetts by the Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center (JCCC) is rooted in solid research and uses the most effective and proven tactics for keeping domestic violence victims safe and alive. Using a high-risk multidisciplinary team model, the JCCC approach has virtually eliminated domestic violence homicides in the Massachusetts community where it originated. Even better, this cutting-edge program has been made available for replication in communities across the country.
