DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: CRIMINOLOGICAL PROFILES, PREVENTION AND VICTIM PROTECTION

Abstract

One of the reasons for the high dark number that characterizes domestic violence is that women often fail to recognize violence especially in the forms of psychological or economic violence, which, however, through the humiliations, denigrations with which it is substantiated annihilates women's personalities. Often women decide to turn to an anti-violence center only after they have suffered physical violence, and there they discover, then, that they have also been victims of other forms of violence that had not, however, been experienced as such, despite the outcry raised by the media.
