НАСИЉЕ У ПОРОДИЦИ У ПРАВУ РЕПУБЛИКЕ СРПСКЕ: КАЗНЕНО И ПОРОДИЧНО ПРАВО
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN THE LAW OF THE REPUBLIKA SRPSKA: CRIMINAL AND FAMILY LAW

Summary/Abstract: For a long time it was considered that the use of violence against family members, especially between marital and extramarital partners, is a family and strictly private matter. However, domestic violence, like any other violence, cannot be socially tolerated and active opposition to that violence is one of the basic obligations of every democratic state. This is supported by the fact that, based on data from the Organization of United Nations, the first cause of death or disability among women is not disease or traffic accidents, but violence in their home. Violence in family or in the family community represents a specific form of manifestation of the criminality of violence, which has recently attracted a special attention of competent authorities in the Republika Srpska. Namely, several branches of positive law, such as the family, misdemeanor and criminal legislation of the Republika Srpska, deal with the suppression and prevention of various forms of domestic violence, albeit in different ways, by different means and in different procedures.
