| description | The Republic of Serbia, within the framework of (intolerably) frequent
amendments to the criminal legislation (often rooted in populist demands),
has also improved its response to violence against women, which is the
subject of this paper. In the first place, new criminal offences have been
analyzed, as well as the more severe legislative penal policy, the main
features of the Law on the Prevention of Domestic Violence, and the link
between the legal framework and the judicial practice, in order to point out
the existing shortcomings. The author concludes that changes in approaches
are most often explained as necessity due to European integration, and
harmonization with the EU law (in the field of protection of women from
violence, for which the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and
Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence is of particular
importance), so there is an impression that the changes are more formal,
declarative and not well-thought-out. |
