The purpose of the personalised assessment is to determine whether specific protective measures should be implemented during the criminal proceedings.

This assessment is carried out in particular in the light of the following elements:

the extent of the harm suffered by the victim;

the circumstances of the commission of the offence resulting in particular from discriminatory, racist, ethnic, religious, or sexist motivation, or the links existing between the victim and the defendant;

the particular vulnerability of the victim, resulting in particular from age, pregnancy or the existence of a disability;

the existence of a risk of intimidation or reprisals.

-the existence of a situation of control exercised over the victim by the accused person, particularly in the case of an offence committed within a couple falling under Article 132-80 of the Criminal Code.
