THE CRIME OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. ASPECTS OF COMPARATIVE LAW

Summary/Abstract: Domestic violence is a set of actions that raise several questions about their legal nature, giving rise to theoretical disputes that have been quite insistent. Domestic violence being one of the most widespread crimes, imposes a certain degree of tolerance towards this anomaly, indicating it as a normal fact that throughout history has always been with cultural development. This crime is based on traditions, customs and mentalities where the superiority of the man over the woman is accentuated. It is any harmful, emotional, physical act that takes place between family members. It is an abusive behavior, intentionally determined to demonstrate power and supremacy, but also to affect the emotional, physical state of the victim through humiliation, total control or damage to integrity. The topic brought to attention proposes the analysis of domestic violence from the point of view of the criminal side, as an anomaly, a crime that tends to achieve perhaps the most important social value, the family, as a social cell, but also from a historical perspective in terms of historical culture and trends, human beings that have had a wide evolution during different historical periods, but also in general aspect as an element that is transmitted from generation to generation.
