Treatment of Perpetrators of Domestic Partner Violence I
Anotation
The monograph presents the results of the initial exploratory phase of the IKSP research project, "Improvements in the treatment of perpetrators and support for victims in cases of domestic and gender-based violence in the Czech Republic", funded by the Norway Grants for the years 2014-2021 (abbreviated as "ViolenceOff"). The introductory part of the book maps and summarises the legislative and systemic assumptions for the treatment of perpetrators of domestic violence in selected European countries and in the Czech Republic. The following general reflection of Czech experts on the current system of treatment of perpetrators of domestic violence in the Czech Republic offers identification of major shortcomings, but also examples of good practice in the practical application of applied procedures in the Czech Republic. In the next part of the monograph, through the analysis of statistical data, the scope, structure, distribution and development trends of crimes related to domestic violence, as well as the structure of sanctions imposed are described. The analysis of criminal files complements the view of criminal activity with the feature of domestic partner violence with other relevant circumstances concerning the characteristics of convicted offenders, including psychological, relationships with victims, forms and nature of violent behaviour and their context. Attention is also given to factors that may play a significant role in the court's decision to impose a sanction for this offence. The monograph also concludes by offering recommendations on the treatment of perpetrators of domestic partner violence.
