Annual Reports of the NYC Domestic Violence Fatality Review Committee

The Fatality Review Committee (FRC) was established through Local Law 61, in June 2005. Annually, the Committee reviews and analyzes family-related homicide data to gain an understanding of the circumstances surrounding the occurrence of these crimes and to ascertain the level to which victims accessed victim assistance and prevention services.
