Fatalities Reportedly Occur Despite VioGén Algorithm's Low or Negligible Risk Scores
The VioGén algorithm was designed to help Spanish police assess and prioritize the risk of repeat domestic violence incidents.

A review of 98 homicides found that 55 of the slain women were scored as negligible or low risk.
