About this project

The project aims to support evidence-based policy and to propose effective measures to improve the system of treatment of offenders of domestic violence (DV) and gender-based violence (GBV) in the contact with law enforcement agencies (LEA) and improve the situation for the victim by minimising the harm from a violent person. The project will, among others, map the current situation concerning DGBV offenders in contact with LEA, identify good practice (in the Czech Republic and abroad) and the shortcomings of existing practice in treatment with perpetrators, assess the impact of applied measures in the area of DGBV and formulate recommendations for a systematic treatment of DGBV offenders and systematic support of DGBV victims. The project will, inter alia, include the following main activities: <ul> <li style="text-align: justify">Description of the current state in treatment of DGBV perpetrators’ and DGBV victims’ support in the Czech Republic,</li> <li style="text-align: justify">Analysis of the current sanctions and other measures applied to DGBV perpetrators and provide a statistical overview of the application of such sanctions and measures,</li> <li style="text-align: justify">Recommendations for improvements in policy making in terms of a systematic approach to treat DGBV perpetrators and provide help for their victims and </li> <li style="text-align: justify">Presentation of research findings to relevant experts, professionals and policy makers to secure that they are familiarized with the research and analytical results.</li> </ul>
