Procedure at Social care centre Karlovac in cases of reported domestic violence

Partnersko nasilje je ponašanje partnera ili bivšeg partnera koje uzrokuje fizičku, seksualnu i psihološku povredu, a koja može uključivati fizičku agresiju, seksualnu prisilu, psihološko zlostavljanje i ekonomsko nasilje nad žrtvom. Cilj ovoga istraživanja je bio dobiti uvid u deskriptivna obilježja prijavljenih događaja partnerskog nasilja u CZSS Karlovac. Ovim istraživanjem obuhvaćena je populacija prijavljenih događaja partnerskog nasilja u obitelji u 2015. godini u kojima je žrtva imala između 18 i 65 godina starosti. Korišten je prigodan uzorak na način da su prvo odabrani prijavljeni događaji partnerskog nasilja u obitelji (nasilje djece nad roditeljima te roditelja nad djecom isključeno je iz analize). Nakon određivanja događaja partnerskog nasilja, odabirani su događaji u kojima je žrtvina dob jednaka onoj odrasle populacije, odnosno žrtva ima između 18 i 65 godina. Posljednja faza odnosila se na odabir događaja partnerskog nasilja koji ima količinski više dokumentacije kako bi dobili čim više rezultata u analizi podataka. Broj prijavljenih događaja izabranih u uzorak iznosi 40 (N=40). Rezultati su pokazali da je žrtva nasilja najčešće ženskog spola, sa prosječnom dobi od 43 godine, obrazovanja srednje strukovne škole, u braku, roditelj je te ima u prosjeku 1 do 2 djece, najčešće je nezaposlena. Obilježja počinitelja nasilja govore da je on najčešće muškog spola, u prosjeku ima 46 godina, srednje je stručne spreme, najčešće je zaposlen i u braku. Načini postupanja CZSS se u većini slučajeva odnose na davanje informacija o pravima žrtve te informiranje o daljnjem tijeku postupanja CZSS, zatim slijedi savjetovanje koje provodi CZSS te se kao posljednje pojavljuju odlasci na terenski izvid. Kao konačan zaključak ovog istraživanja potrebno je navesti činjenicu da se iz dobivenih podataka ne mogu iznositi generalizacije te kako velik problem u području informacija o postupanju CZSS predstavlja i neujednačeno vođenje dokumentacije oko prijavljenih događaja nasilja.Partner violence is the behavior of a partner or former partner, which causes physical, sexual and psychological injury, which may include physical aggression, sexual coercion, psychological abuse and economic violence against the victim. The aim of this study was to gain insight into the descriptive characteristics of reported events of partner violence in SCC Karlovac. This survey covers the population of reported events of partner violence in 2015., in which the victim was between 18 and 65 years of age. Convenient sample was used in the way that we the firstly selected events of reported partner violence (violence by children against their parents and the parents against the children were evicted from the analysis). After defining events of partner violence, next, we selected events in which the victim's age is equal to that of the adult population, meaning the victim is between 18 and 65 years of age. The last phase was related to the selection of reported events of partner violence which had quantitatively more documents in order to get as many results in data analysis. The number of reported events selected for the sample is 40 (N =40). The results showed that the victim is usually female, with an average age of 43 years, she has an education in vocational high school, is married and a parent, and has an average of 1-2 children, mostly is unemployed. The characteristics of the perpetrator of violence shows that he is mostly male, with an average of 46 years of age, has education in vocational high school, usually is employed and married. Procedures of the SCC are in most cases related to the provision of information on the rights of victims and information about the further course of SCC procedure. That is followed by counseling conducted by the SCC and as last we cite departures on the field work as a form of SCC treatment. As a final conclusion of this study we think that it is necessary to state the fact that from the data obtained we can not make broader generalizations and we have to state out the fact about a big problem which refers to the record keeping of information on the procedures of SCC which is largely inconsistent and poor
