The textual content of the order, the 1/2023 to which EFE has had entry, justifies this communication to the victims after the evaluation of the circumstances of sexist violence integrated into the VioGén monitoring system that decide that the situation of recurrent or persistent aggressor -two or extra complaints from completely different couples- “constitutes a particular and severe threat issue for the girl and the youngsters or individuals who rely on her”.
However, the in depth ten-page instruction signed this Thursday by the Secretary of State for Security, Rafael Pérez, makes clear the “phrases and assumptions” during which brokers specialised within the care of victims of sexist violence can report these antecedents, with out in any case that communication could be “generalized”.
The particular standards for a sufferer who denounces her aggressor to learn that he has had episodes of abuse with earlier companions are the next:
The police threat evaluation should yield a Medium, High or Extreme threat degree of particular relevance. All these circumstances should be met: plans or threats aimed toward harming the sufferer; exaggerated jealousy or suspicions of infidelity; violent historical past of the aggressor or addictions to toxins and that the sufferer has expressed her intention to interrupt the connection. The violence reported by that sufferer should embrace behaviors thought of in the course of the police threat evaluation “as severe or very severe”, with bodily, sexual violence or demise threats. Your companion’s background data will solely be notified when it seems within the system within the earlier 5 years, so the remaining might be excluded, in addition to the prescribed info or on which there’s an acquittal or free dismissal. The data supplied might be: “The information of the denounced individual is recorded within the VioGén System”. You is not going to be informed the character of the earlier abuse, its authorized evaluation, procedural scenario or different background or private information.
The instruction not solely develops the communication to the victims of the aggressor’s background but in addition features a sequence of “particular safety measures in circumstances of persistent aggressors” and reinforces the “monitoring” methods on this profile of “multi-victimizers “:
The reported aggressor might be knowledgeable that the management, safety and follow-up measures might be prolonged to different earlier victims. If the brokers request the prosecutor’s workplace that the aggressor put on a telematic bracelet, they have to specify within the police report that there are complaints from different victims and should emphasize that The defendant “presents a notable particular threat of committing new prison acts with the identical sufferer and with others.” The brokers will re-evaluate the danger of victims of that aggressor lively within the VioGén System. When the case seems within the system as “inactive” in a interval of lower than three months, they may also contact the sufferer. Actions might be taken to adjust to judicial measures, comparable to a restraining order, since these aggressors usually tend to break them. The information contained in prisons on these aggressors might be examined, contrasted and up to date. When there’s a case of a persistent aggressor, the VioGén system will mechanically generate a “report” with the traits of this sort, whatever the degree of threat of aggressors, with the purpose of “bettering the standard of knowledge obtainable to judges and courts when making their selections”.
