本研究的目的在發展一份本土親密關係暴力致命危險評估工具，提供第一線實務工作者於處理案件時運用，據以作為判斷被害人危險處境之參考。本研究參的相關文獻、評估工具以及本土80件親密關係殺人案件資料，並與相關領域之實務專家、學者討論，據以整理出重要之危險因素，作為發展施測問卷之基礎。正式施測係透過全國22個縣市、計51個警察分局與醫院之協助，當親密關係暴力被害人至警察單位報案、或是至醫療單位驗傷採證時，邀請被害人參與本研究填答問卷，共計獲得773份有效樣本。後依據分析結果篩選出重要之致命危險因素15項，建構出「台灣親密關係暴力危險評估表」（TlPVDA），並將加總分數8分以上歸為「高危險組」。TlPVDA之內部一致性、區辨效度、校標關聯效度及準確度之檢測結果表現良好，可作為實務上進行危險評估之重要參考。最後針對TlPVDA在實務之應用，本研究亦提出建議。

This study aims to develop an intimate partner violence lethality assessment instrument which will be provided to the practioner, including police officer, social workers and health ca re providers etc., to assess the likelihood of lethality or near lethality of victims. Based on reviewing literature, exited danger assessment instruments, and archival information or 80 femicide and attempted femicide cases, and discussing with practioners ancl scholars, this study constructed a pool of potential predictors, and formed a questionnaire. The samples (N=773) are intimate partner victims who asked for help from 51 police precincts and hospitals in 22 cities and counties. As a result of empirical analyses, a 15 items scale was constructed and named Taiwan Intimate Partner Violence Danger Assessment (TIPVDA). The TIPVDA score above 8 is the index of high risk category. The empirical resilts suggest that the TIPVDA was administered reliably, and they provide significant evidence of the concurrent, discriminant, and criterion-related validity of this instrument Implicaitons for future research and utilization of the TIPVDA are discussed.
