LAP as a whole includes policies and protocols for connecting victims with resources, but the Lethality Screen (LS) is the key assessment tool used within LAP. LS consists of seven questions designed to reveal the level of potentially lethal violence a victim experiences in their relationship, including questions about weapon ownership and past violence. The LAP explains when to implement the LS, noting that LS can not be used in situations where the victim has limited English proficiency or is in need of immediate medical attention, and warns against using the LS in cases of mutual battery. The LS is validated for use with parties over the age of 16.
