Restraining order on a specific person, place or area as a police power

Ena najbolj prikritih oblik nasilja je nasilje v družini, ki se dogaja za štirimi stenami in praviloma traja daljše časovno obdobje. Žrtev nasilja je nemočna, molči, nazadnje se lahko z nasiljem tudi sprijazni, saj iz situacije ne vidi izhoda. V preprečevanje nasilja v družini je vključenih več organov in organizacij, ki s svojim delom nudijo žrtvam ustrezno pomoč in zaščito. S primernimi aktivnostmi, ukrepanjem in nenazadnje kaznovanjem se mora pri preprečevanju zaznanega nasilja dolgoročno izkazati učinkovitost vseh vključenih subjektov. Pri nasilju v družini se vloga policije najprej pokaže v represivnem ukrepanju. Policisti za preprečevanje nevarnosti in varovanje življenja izvajajo pooblastila na podlagi zakonskih aktov. Eden od ukrepov, s katerim policija zagotovo pripomore k varnosti ogrožene osebe ali oseb, je prepoved približevanja določeni osebi, kraju ali območju. S tem varnostnim ukrepom policija odstrani povzročitelja nasilja in izvaja nadzor nad spoštovanjem izrečene prepovedi. Dolgoročen učinek na varnost žrtve ima v primeru vzajemnega sodelovanja vseh organov in organizacij, ki se v nadaljevanju kaže v obravnavi kaznivega dejanja in postopkih zoper povzročitelja nasilja, kot tudi v nudenju ustrezne pomoči žrtvi. V diplomskem delu je predstavljen in razčlenjen varnostni ukrep policije, ki je v nadaljevanju primerjan s podobnimi ukrepi po Zakonu o kazenskem postopku in z ukrepi po družinski zakonodaji. Uporaba ukrepov je prikazana celostno, izhajajoč iz problematike družinskega nasilja, z namenom varovanja življenja in osebne varnosti. Dolgoročno na preprečevanje nasilja vplivajo vključenost vseh za to pristojnih organov, uporaba ustreznih varnostnih ukrepov, pa tudi pregon in kaznovanje storilcev kaznivih ravnanj. Vsi ukrepi morajo poleg namena predvideti tudi sredstva in rešitve za dosego cilja, ki mora temeljiti na zagotavljanju zaščite in varnosti šibkejših.One of the most hidden forms of violence is domestic violence, which occurs within the four walls and usually last for longer periods of time. The victim feels powerless, remains silent and often even gets used to being abused, because he or she cannot escape the hopeless situation. Prevention of domestic violence involves several bodies and organizations, who offer adequate assistance and protection to the victims. Appropriate activities and actions as well as suitable punishments must reflect the efficiency of all subjects, included in the long term prevention of violence. In cases of domestic violence the role of the police is initially shown by taking repressive measures. Police officers exercise their powers based on legislative acts in order to prevent danger and to protect lives. One of the police measures, with which the police undoubtedly contribute to the safety of compromised persons, is a restraining order on a person, place or area. With this security measure police removes the perpetrator of violence and ensures that the prohibition is complied with. Only in the case of mutual cooperation between all authorities and organizations does the measure have a long-term effect on the safety of the victim. This is further illustrated through the treatment of the offense, judicial proceedings against the perpetrator of violence and through the provision of appropriate assistance to the victim. In the thesis the security measure of the police is presented, further segmented and compared with similar measures under the Criminal Procedure Act and under Family Law Legislation. The use of integrated measures is introduced, deriving from the issue of domestic violence, with the purpose of protecting lives and personal safety. The involvement of all competent authorities, the application of appropriate security measures as well as the prosecution and punishment of domestic violence perpetrators are the main factors that affect the prevention of violence in the long run. All actions must aim to provide for the resources and solutions to achieve the objective, which should be based on ensuring the safety and protection of the weak
