Abstract

The seriousness of attention to the phenomenon of domestic violence is driven by the fact that violence, whatever its form and degree of seriousness, can occur in the household. Domestic violence has recently developed very rapidly. This happens because it is triggered by various factors, these factors include patriarchal factors, economic factors, gender factors, environmental factors, relationship factors. This study was carried out using the Empires legal analysis methodology. This research began by examining criminological factors from secondary data and continued with a legal approach through field data collection. Domestic Violence (KDRT) tends to be committed by men in the young age group, not working, not in a legal marriage, the possibility of having witnessed Domestic Violence as a child, and the presence of psychiatric problems that vary from depression to dangerous substance abuse. Domestic violence is a problem related to drugs and alcohol, a situation related to stress and depression. Legal protection against criminal acts of domestic violence according to the provisions of the Domestic Violence Law (UUPKDRT) is preventive legal protection, repressive legal protection and responsive legal protection. Often these acts of violence are called hidden crimes. It is called that because both the perpetrator and the victim try to keep the act secret from public view.
