Summary/Abstract: The paper points to the issue of both the legalization and comprehensive legislation on domestic violence in the various countries of the European Union. With the legalization of this component of social policy there is a need to rely on international conventions and documents, since in the current system of family policy, each country stems out from its own legal regulation. The overall comparison of the selected countries of the European Union and their view of the issue creates another part of this paper. Possible modifications of laws or amendments or the establishment of changes governed by the European institutions represent one of the most effective forms of how to innovate and deal more with this issue that affects a high percentage of the population of every country in the world.
