Limity a příležitosti práce s původci domácího násilí v České republice
Limits and Opportunities of Working with Domestic Violence Perpetrators in the Czech Republic

Summary/Abstract: For almost 15 years, some organizations in Czechia have been working with perpetrators of domestic violence through specialized programs and interventions. Yet, this nascent preventive strategy toward domestic violence remains inadequately supported by the nation´s institutional framework. This context presents a complex array of challenges and opportunities for advancement — the primary focus of this article. Through an expert survey, we present insights from both actors representing organizations endorsing such programs and professionals assisting domestic violence survivors. Complementing the survey, we also derive findings from focus group discussions involving stakeholders active in the execution of procedures aimed at domestic violence perpetrators (police officers, prosecutors, judges, probation officers, misdemeanour department officials, and attorneys, including actors representing the aforementioned organizations from the expert survey). Our research reveals two critical impediments to the broader adoption of PDN programs: a palpable accessibility deficit and an absence of systemic integration.
