The authors analyzed the dynamics of case consideration, types of penalties, and specific aspects of law enforcement practice.
The report also includes recommendations for improving judicial practice to ensure an effective response to cases of domestic violence and protect the rights of victims. The findings may serve as a basis for further advocacy of necessary changes in Ukraine’s legal system and for enhancing victim protection.
