Phenomenological Analysis of Violence against Children with Special Reference to Judicial Practice

U ovom radu, čiji je naslov „Fenomenološka analiza nasilja nad djecom s posebnim osvrtom na sudsku praksu“ polazeći s povijesnog aspekta pojašnjava se fenomen nasilja nad djecom kao posebno ranjivom društvenom skupinom. U tom smislu problematizirajući čedomorstvo kao najranije prepoznati oblik nasilja pojašnjava se prepoznavanje drugih, danas poznatih oblika nasilja. Nadalje, u svrhu razumijevanja nasilja iznosi se nekoliko definicija nasilja te se pojašnjava razlika između nasilja, nasilništva i zlostavljanja. Također, rad se bavi interpretacijom normativnog uređenja fenomena nasilja na nacionalnoj i međunarodnoj razini. S obzirom na navedeno daje se prikaz temeljnih dokumenata i zakonskih odredbi kojima se regulira i sankcionira nasilje nad djecom. U tom smislu poseban naglasak stavljen je na obiteljsko-pravne, kazneno-pravne i prekršajno-pravne odredbe nacionalnog zakonodavstva. Nadalje, u radu se pojašnjavaju oblici nasilja uz interpretaciju uzročno-posljedične veze svakog pojedinog oblika nasilja. Naime, u tom smislu daje se prikaz tjelesnog ili fizičkog nasilja, psihičkog ili emotivnog nasilja, seksualnog ili spolnog nasilja, zanemarivanja te ekonomskog nasilja. Fenomen nasilja objašnjava se kroz ekološki integrativni model uz pojašnjenje svake pojedine komponente spomenutog modela. S obzirom na normativni okvir fenomena nasilja, ovaj rad na osobit način analizira statistiku sudske prakse redovnih kaznenih sudova i primjer iz sudske prakse Europski sud za ljudska prava.The paper "A phenomenological analysis of violence against children with special reference to the case-law“, starting from the historical aspect, clarifies the phenomenon of violence against children as a particularly vulnerable social group. In this regard, by problematizing infanticide as the earliest recognized form of violence, the recognition of other, now-known forms of violence is being explained. Furthermore, for the purpose of understanding the term violence, not only are several definitions of violence being presentedbut also the difference between violence, bullying and abuse is being clarified. In addition, the paper deals with the interpretation of the normative regulation of the phenomenon of violence at the national and international level. In view of the above, the basic documents and legal provisions regulating and sanctioning violence against children are being presented. Therefore, special emphasis was placed on family law, criminal law and misdemeanor provisions of the national law. In addition, the paper clarifies the different forms of violence with the interpretation of the causal link between each form of violence. Thus, physical violence, psychological or emotional violence, sexual violence, neglect and economic violence are being displayed and portrayed. The phenomenon of violence is being explained through an ecologically integrative model with clarification of each component of the mentioned model.
