Lethality Assessment Protocol (LAP)
The Virginia Lethality Assessment Program (LAP) is a collaborative effort between the Office of the Attorney General (OAG), the Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance, and the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS). It is based on the Maryland model and Dr. Jacquelyn Campbell’s research. Please see the list below of participating programs in Virginia. The statewide team is grateful for their efforts in implementing LAP and submitting the necessary data to track the success of LAP in Virginia.
