СЕМЕЈНОТО НАСИЛСТВО ВО РЕПУБЛИКА МАКЕДОНИЈА

Abstract

The author of the paper deals with the analysis of criminological aspects of domestic violence in the country, thus, especially the scope of domestic violence, the types and forms of family violence, etiology and theoretical basis for domestic violence. The author refers to the national legislation, and the international documents dealing with the problem that confirm the seriousness of this type of violent crime. Special attention is paid to the Convention of the Council of Europe to prevent and combat violence against women and domestic violence. Also, the paper presents the summarized results of the research studies on domestic violence in the country. Studies have confirmed the existence of almost all forms of domestic violence, yet need regular monitoring, collection of statistical data and conducting research and surveys to determine trends in all forms of domestic violence. This is especially important for our country as we face the problem of lack of oficial data on domestic violence. Referring to the etiology and underlying the theoretical basis for domestic violence, the author proposes setting a system of measures to prevent and combat this phenomenon.
