CURRENT LEGAL DETERMINATIONS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN THE SOCIO - CULTURAL EVOLUTION OF THE PHENOMENON

Summary/Abstract: Domestic violence has its origins in the social structure, traditions, habits and mentalities which assume the superiority of men over women. There are a number of factors which aggravate domestic violence, such as communicative, emotionally and financially mutations in intra-familial relations, the emergence of gaps in relations between partners, stress, alcohol, infidelity and jealousy. An important factor fuelling this phenomenon is the proliferation of violence through mass media and the indifferent attitude of the public towards the commission of domestic violence acts. This kind of behaviour leads to isolation, distrust, anxiety, low productivity, psychological and emotional problems, as well as to abuse of alcohol and drugs. A series of negative effects have impact on society, in general, because the wellbeing of each individual depends on that of the society, resulting in an unsafe social climate generated by antisocial actions, the perpetuation of violence from generation to generation, broken families, numerous divorces, etc. Sociologically, violence is an abuse of power, being mostly related to a position of power and the imposition of this power on others. The multiplicity of forms of violence that occur within the family (partner maltreatment, child abuse, incest, marital rape, etc.) plus the tide of aggression exercised outside the family contributes to the generalization of a social climate dominated by fear, anxiety and conflict.
