Specialized poles in the courts, urgent measures taken in twenty-four hours… This Monday, May 22, the Renaissance deputy Emily Chandler and Senator UDI Dominique Verien submit to the Keeper of Seals a report guaranteeing 59 recommendations to better combat domestic violence.
In this text of over 160 pages, the primary objective is to improve the judicial treatment of this violence. To do this, more than 300 hearings of legal plaintiffs and numerous trips to different jurisdictions were carried out.
Better cooperation between judicial bodies
In their recommendations, the MPs want the creation of a file containing information on the perpetrators of violence. But also better assistance to violent men, thanks to special prevention campaigns, or even a supervisory committee for release.
MPs are also calling for creation of specialized centers in the courts, which would make it possible to set up teams dedicated and trained in the treatment of intra-family violence, which does not yet exist. The report also calls for the development of an emergency channel in the courts so that measures can be taken within 24 hours.
