MOSAIC helps determine the extent to which abused women are killed by intimate partners. It is free and open to the public.

MOSAIC can assess several types of situations: domestic violence [by men or women], workplace violence, student threats, threats to public figures, or threats to judicial personnel. Domestic violence assessments are the only assessments available to the public; other assessments limit access.

MOSAIC's domestic violence assessment is easy to use. Simply log in to the site and answer 48 questions, which takes about 30 minutes.
