Domestic Violence – Serious Damage to Human Dignity. Romania Versus Spain

Summary/Abstract: Despite legislative and institutional efforts initiated both at the national and European levels, the phenomenon of domestic violence continues to affect many people, regardless of age, gender, race, or social status. Comparing the regulations in Romanian and Spanish criminal law offers a complex perspective on how different legal systems try to protect victims and prevent the commission of such crimes. The analysis has as its starting point the recent changes in Romanian criminal law and the permanent concern of European institutions for the protection of victims of domestic violence. We aimed to comparatively analyze the regulations in Romania and Spain, to identify the strengths and vulnerabilities of each system. This research also aims to evaluate the legislative measures adopted in Romania and Spain and to what extent they manage to ensure the effective protection of victims, as well as the efficiency of the sanctions applied to the aggressors.
