Violența domestică sau violența în familie? Necesitatea unei reglementări unitare în ceea ce privește principalele instituții din domeniul violenței domestice
Domestic Violence or Family Violence? The Need for a Unitary Regulation of the Main Institutions in the Field of Domestic Violence

Summary/Abstract: Domestic Violence or Family Violence? The Need for a Unitary Regulation of the Main Institutions in the Field of Domestic ViolenceConstantly concerned with the alignment of national legislation with the requirements of international and European regulations, the legislator has made substantial changes in terms of fundamental notions regulated by Law no. 217/2003, on preventing and combating domestic violence. However, the successive amendments did not take into account a correlation of the institutions regulated by the law on domestic violence or with the provisions provided by the criminal law criminalising domestic violence. Thus, confusion regarding the used terminology, especially in defining the nature of violence, such as domestic violence or family violence, still exists. We believe that in order for the law to be a useful and effective tool in preventing and combating the phenomenon of domestic violence, a terminological and regulatory correlation is required.
