Domestic Violence Against Women

The trend of violence against women in Nigeria has increased more than ever recently, with many women having been deprived of their fundamental rights. Violence against women in Nigeria includes sexual harassment, physical violence, harmful traditional practices, emotional and psychological violence, and socio-economic violence. This article investigates cases of domestic violence against women in South West Nigeria by assessing the role of family courts in the adjudication of such cases. Both primary and secondary sources of data were employed to examine incidents of violence against women and the role of the family courts in ensuring justice. The author employed both primary and secondary sources of data; the data gathered were analysed by frequency and simple percentages, while qualitative data were descriptively analysed. The article reveals the causes of domestic violence against women to include a cultural belief in male superiority, women’s lack of awareness of their rights, women’s poverty owing to joblessness, men seeking sexual satisfaction by force, women having only male children, the social acceptance of discipline, the failure to punish the perpetrators of violence, the influence of alcohol, and in-laws’ interference in marital relationships. It also reveals the nature of domestic violence against women. The research revealed that the family courts have played prominent roles in protecting and defending the rights of women. The author therefore recommends that the law should strengthen the family courts by extending their power to penalise the perpetrators of violence against women.

Sexual assault is a violent crime that traumatizes individual victims and endangers entire communities. Every victim of sexual assault deserves an opportunity for justice and access to the resources they need to recover from this trauma. In addition, many perpetrators of sexual assaults are serial offenders who also commit other violent crimes, including armed robberies, aggravated assaults, burglary, domestic violence, and homicides, against strangers and acquaintances. Criminal justice agencies have the power to create a strategic, sustainable plan for an improved response to sexual assault that aligns with current best practices and national recommendations. In this document, we define an “improved response” as an approach that supports effective investigation and prosecution of sexual assault cases, holds perpetrators accountable, and promotes healing and recovery for victims of sexual assault. This guide will help prosecutor and law enforcement agencies create a process with milestones, goals, and suggested actions, all designed to support a successful and sustainable approach for addressing sexual assault cases. Improving the criminal justice system’s response to sexual assault ultimately improves public safety and promotes trust between criminal justice agencies and the communities they serve.

This study aims to determine the role of the Police in implementing Restorative Justice against perpetrators of criminal acts of beating carried out by children and adults that occurred in the District of Namo Rambe District of Deli Serdang. The research method is done by using descriptive qualitative method that is normative. Based on the data obtained in the results of this study, the authors draw conclusions as follows: The criminal justice system must always promote the importance of law and justice. But there is a false view that the measure of the success of law enforcement is only marked by the success of bringing a suspect to court and then being sentenced. The measure of success of law enforcement by law enforcement officers should be characterized by the achievement of values of justice in the community. The police as a state tool that plays a role in enforcing the law is expected to be able to respond to this by implementing a Restorative Justice mechanism.<strong></strong></span></h1>

Administrative Detention

The article deals with the issue of normative regulation of the terms and procedure of administrative detention of offenders committed domestic violence in order to justify increasing the detention period for domestic brawlers for more than three hours. It is proposed to supplement Article 263 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses with the fourth part of the following content: “Persons who have committed domestic violence, i.e. the intentional commission of any act of a physical nature (use of violence that did not cause bodily harm; threats; insults or persecution; deprivation of housing, food, clothing, other property or funds that belongs to the victim, who has the right on it guaranteed by law, et.) must be detained for up to 72 hours for referral to trial if the physical or mental health of the victim was damaged or could be damaged. This applies to cases if the urgent injunction was not executed by the person in respect of whom the order was issued or if person did not notify the authorized units of the National Police of Ukraine of the place of his/her temporary stay”. It was proposed to detain domestic rowdies after administrative detention in special rooms for arrestees. The proposal of legal scholars and law enforcement officers regarding the possibility of administrative proceedings without the obligatory presence of a person who was brought to administrative responsibility for committing domestic violence has been also supported. This provision of the current Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses already in its content has certain precedents for increasing the term of compulsory detention of a detained person for committing certain administrative offenses. Thus, there is a certain procedural precedent, which makes it possible to increase the terms of administrative detention for other administrative offenses, which in their content have more significant harmful consequences for society, such as Article 10 of this Code. Thus, among the administrative offenses, such as those listed in paragraph 1 of part 2 of Article 262 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of Ukraine, for which administrative detention is provided for no more than three hours, domestic violence is the one that, on our opinion, has the most serious harmful consequences for society.
