Violența în familie în pandemia Covid-19. Sesizarea și intervenția în condițiile de risc epidemiologic
Domestic violence in the Covid-19 pandemic. Referral and intervention in conditions of epidemiological risk

Summary/Abstract: The text aims to bring into attention a well-known issue in the field of deviance and delinquency, respectively of family violence, from the perspective of a crisis period we are all going through at global level, the COVID-19 pandemic. Starting from various theoretical assessments with an interdisciplinary character, we set out to analyze the situation regarding the domestic violence in our country in 2020, in the midst of a pandemic. Therefore, we identified various particularities regarding the domestic violence phenomenon, more precisely on the notification of the cases, as well as on the institutional, specialized intervention manner. Although the analysis of police statistics does not necessarily indicate an increase in the level of intrafamily violence compared to 2019, we believe that the „black figure“(the cases not reported to the authorities) hides a big part of this phenomenon. The crisis periods aggravate the social dysfunctions and family conflicts, which is why, at the end of this paper, we’ve made a set of proposals for streamlining the intervention in support of the victims.
