The Domestic Violence: A Multidisciplinary Reflection Beyond the Crime (VDCrim)

Presentation

Domestic violence continues to be a particularly serious social problem, not only in Portugal but also in other places. It is a complex phenomenon, due to its devastating consequences for the victims and their families, as well as its multifaceted causes that are challenging to fully comprehend even with the most accurate criminological analysis.

There is a widespread feeling or even conviction that the formal instances of crime control and domestic violence intervention systematically fail in their mission, and that the punitive intervention of criminal law comes too late. There is a sense of weariness or exhaustion with the legal system's actions in this matter.
