摘要

The family is widely regarded as the foundational unit of society; thus, the overall health of a society is intrinsically linked to the well-being of its families. Individual behavior is primarily shaped within the familial context, where parents serve as the earliest and most influential role models for their children. In cases where families are stable, supportive, and functionally sound, they tend to foster individuals who contribute positively to societal development. However, challenges arise in the context of what criminological literature often refers to as dysfunctional or deviant family structures—characterized by moral, emotional, or social degradation—which can significantly increase the likelihood of maladaptive behavior and social disintegration. The incidence of domestic violence has been steadily increasing, driven by a range of interrelated factors. Key among these are deficiencies in communication within parent–child relationships, economic instability, and individual belief systems that perceive the family structure as restrictive or burdensome. Furthermore, in recent years, there has been a noticeable trend in which certain individuals, particularly during specific developmental stages, regard family responsibilities as impediments to personal exploration or autonomy. These factors, alongside various other social and psychological contributors, collectively exacerbate the prevalence of domestic violence. An in-depth examination of the underlying causes and various manifestations of domestic violence, which contribute to the phenomenon of family victimization, is essential for a comprehensive understanding of victims’ legal entitlements to compensation. Special attention is given to the scope, implementation, and practical impact of these compensatory mechanisms in ensuring justice and support for victims.
