Description
Summary:The criminal provisions of the Organic Law 1/2004, on Comprehensive Measures against Gender Violence (the “Comprehensive Law”) –in force since 30 June 2005–, represent a turning point regarding punishment of the violence inflicted on a woman by her male partner or former partner, which is no longer considered an expression of domestic violence and comes to be viewed from a gender perspective. This paper analyses and assesses the impact and the effects —both the intended and the non­intended or non­ desirable ones— produced at the legislative, judicial and academic levels by the Comprehensive Law concerning usual and occasional maltreatment during its ten years lifetime.
