Domestic Violence: an ongoing phenomenon all around Europe

In 2018 CEP and EuroPris established a joint expert-group on Domestic Violence (DV), in order to improve management and rehabilitation of offenders with a DV background. 

During the last expert meeting earlier this year it was decided to publish a special newsletter about Domestic Violence. Emerging evidence on the impact of COVID-19 lockdown measures has led to a rise in Domestic Violence all over Europe.
