Nasilje v družini je v družbi prisotno že dlje časa in je poseben problem zaradi pozicije med zasebnim prostorom in javno sfero. Najpogosteje so storilci nasilja v družini moški, žrtve z izkušnjo nasilja pa ženske. Nasilje nad ženskami v družini je posledica splošnega prepričanja skozi celotno zgodovino, saj so ženske in otroci nekoč veljali za lastnino moža, ki je imel nad njimi popolno oblast. Temeljni namen članka je predstaviti vlogo žrtve v družini in pomen kaznivega dejanja nasilja v družini z vidika ustrezne kvalifikacije, ki je pogosto nedorečena ter je med strokovnjaki, ki obravnavajo nasilje v družini, samostojen problem. Predstavljeni so ukrepi po Zakonu o kazenskem postopku (ZKP) v obravnavanih kaznivih dejanjih z elementi nasilja v družini v letu 2009 na območju Ljubljane. Avtorica se opredeli tudi do privilegiranih prič, ki v praksi pogosto uporabijo pravno dobroto in se tako odpovedo pričanju, kljub nasilju, ki so ga doživele s strani storilcev. Predstavljene in analizirane sp tudi vrste odločitev po tožilskih spisih v obravnavanih kaznivih dejanjih z elementi nasilja v družini. Avtorica se opredeli do poravnave kot alternativnega načina obravnavanja v kazenskih zadevah pri obravnavanju nasilja v družini ter v zadnjem poglavju predstavi čas trajanja postopkov pred sodišči.

Domestic violence has a long history. It is particularly problematic as it is positioned between the private arena and the public sphere. In most cases, perpetrators of domestic violence are men and victims who experience violence are women. Violence against women within the family is a consequence of a general conviction prevalent throughout history, when women and children were considered property of husband and father, who had absolute authority over them. Nowadays, domestic violence is regarded as a social, and recently also as a political problem. The fundamental purpose of the article is to present the role of the victim in the family and the significance of the criminal offence of domestic violence from the perspective of its adequate qualification, which is frequently indeterminate and presents a separate problem among experts dealing with domestic violence. Measures under Slovenia Criminal Procedure Act (ZKP) applied in processed criminal offences with elements of domestic violence in the Ljubljana area in 2009 are presented. The author also states her position on privileged witnesses who often avail themselves of legal benefit and waive testimony, despite the violence they suffered from the perpetrators. The author also presents and analyses different kinds of decisions from prosecutor’s files in the processed criminal offences with elements of domestic violence, states her position on settlement as an alternative resolution of domestic violence and, in the concluding chapter, presents the duration of proceedings before courts.
