VioGen - Forecast gender violence

The Spanish polices uses VioGen, an algorithm that assesses the risk faced by victims of gender violence. Based on two tests to assess the risk of complainants or victims already sentenced, VioGén determines a level of risk of aggression that entails a specific degree of police protection , both before and after the trial or even when it does not occur. The figures support its success: since the implementation of this tool a decade ago, the recurrence of attacks has decreased by 25% according to the latest data. And if, in a generic way, recidivism in other neighboring countries reaches 35%, in Spain it is already at 15%.
