Summary: | The intervention with children exposed to domestic inter-parental violence has changed in the last years. Nowadays, these children are perceived as victims needing a comprehensive social intervention, not only when they are direct victims of this violence, but also when they witness or are exposed to it. This change also reflects on Criminal Justice. In this paper, the main elements of the legal and theoretical framework reflecting those changes are analyzed in the Spanish context. At the same time, the main characteristics of the intervention model designed in the Comunidad Autónoma of Aragon (Spain) are exposed. Finally, a discussion follows based on the conclusions of the research by the Laboratory of the Sociology of Law (Universidad of Zaragoza), in collaboration with the Instituto Aragonés de la Mujer (IAM) about the response to this problem in Aragon (Spain).
