Viktimological Approach In Efforts To Resolve Criminal Disparities For Perpetrators Of Crimes Against Women

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Cases of violence against women identified in the community are an iceberg phenomenon, because the magnitude of these cases has not illustrated the total number of actual cases that occur in the community and only a small percentage of reported cases of violence. In fact, it is very difficult to precisely gauge the extent of violence against women, because it means having to enter a sensitive region of women's lives, which women themselves are reluctant to say. The criminal justice system that is oriented to criminals causes inequality in the protection of the law to victims of crimes, which results in victims (especially violent and sexual crimes) reluctant to report to law enforcement officials and witness the events they experience. This condition is an obstacle to the smooth running of the criminal law enforcement process which ultimately affects the success of overall crime prevention efforts.
