Domestic violence in Switzerland: A follow up of cases from police to courts
2013 - 2016
Other partners : Pauline Meireles; Marcelo Aebi
This research is based on a follow up of all the cases of domestic violence registered by the police force of one Swiss canton in the first half of 2012 (N=592). The cases recorded by the police were retrieved at the five offices of the Prosecutor of the canton and then at the four criminal courts of it. This follow up allows an analysis of the type of offences recorded, the profiles of the authors and the profiles of the victims. The analysis allows studying the evolution of the cases throughout the criminal justice process. Special attention is given, for example, to the reclassification of offences and to the final decisions of the prosecutors and the courts. The quantitative analyses are complemented with interviews conducted with key actors of the procedure (police officers, prosecutors, judges and social workers). The research was conducted by the School of Criminal Sciences of the University of Lausanne on behalf of the Equal Rights Office for the Equality of Women and Men of the Canton of Vaud. It counted with the support of the Police, the Prosecutor's Office and the Courts of the canton.
