VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS – Criminological Aspects –

Summary/Abstract: This paper looks at the problem of intimate partner violence against women, given that this is one of the forms of domestic violence. The paper provides certain characteristics of this form of violence, both in terms of causation as well as in terms of extent and prevalence. Furthermore, the paper points out to the facts that show violence in spousal or partner relationships to be, in fact, violence against women. For this purpose, this paper presents the results of numerous studies that confirmed the aforementioned stance. In addition, data gathered from the Municipal court of Nis is also presented, which confirms that the perpetrators of domestic violence are prevalently men. Violence against women is perceived in context of protection of fundamental human rights guaranteed by the highest domestic and international legal acts. Nevertheless, the facts show that despite numerous positive steps both in law and in practice, there has been no decrease in the rate of violence against women. Therefore, further efforts must be made.
