MEDICAL AND LEGAL ASPECTS OF INTRAFAMILY VIOLENCE

Abstract

The authors indicate that over 12% of all persons
addressed to the department of forensics are those who have suffered from domestic violence. 2364 cases of expert examination
show that the aftermaths can be regarded as medical, forensic
and social ones. The victims of intrafamily violence are divided
into groups and examined for the features of injuries: child abuse;
violence against spouse or partner; elderly person abuse; violence
against junior kinsman (brothers, sisters); violence against adult
relatives by marriage (daughter-in-law, sister-in-law); violence
against spouse or partner. The domestic violence problem requires joint efforts to be made by investigation, forensic, medical
and social organizations
