Victims of domestic violence in the Italian judicial system

This Work represents one of the main scientific results ofthe project entitled Good practices for protecting victims insideand outside the criminal process,funded by the European Commission within the scope of the Criminal Justice program (Just/2011/JPEN/AG/2901).

The volume, spread in its Italian version too, actually aims at offering to the European Commission and to the community of scholars a number of possible interpretations on the position of victims two years after the release of the Directive no 29/2012. In a historical moment when the EU Countries aregenerally re-thinking the statute of victims within the owncriminal systems, the experience of the three Countries beingthe object of the analysis (France, Italy and Spain) may definitely provide some useful indications to other members ofthe continental partnership. The whole work organization, as amatter of fact, was aimed at obtaining some hermeneuticapproaches to be applied in similar contexts, and to be oriented towards wider reflections on the rights and the guarantees to begranted to the victim, as regards the relationship with thedefendant as well.
