Abstract

MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study include a series of 132 cases of domestic violence (DV) accounting for 58% of the 228 homicides recorded between 1997 and 2008 in the Neamt county. Data were processed and interpreted based on epidemiological, statistic and mathematical computer-based methods. RESULTS: In 1998, in the Neamt county, 0.69 per thousand homicides were recorded as compared to 2.56 at country level. In 2000, the rate of homicides by DV had significantly increased, reaching 12.3 per thousand, compared to 4.5 per thousand at the national level. The prevalence of homicides by DV, according to environment, gender, age groups and other features is presented. CONCLUSIONS: Domestic violence is hard to control, this phenomenon being uncommon to Romanian society, but represents a major social and public health problem.
