Abstract

The paper examines legal and policy responses to femicide in the Republic of Serbia. In particular, it discusses recent legislative changes that were expected to improve protection of women from homicide victimization in family and intimate partner relationships. The authors conclude that, although legislation has been improved, the practice of improper or tardy reaction to family violence and intimate partner violence is changing too slowly. The criminal justice and social institutions lack proper and well-established co-operation that would improve both the protection of victims of gender based violence and prevention of fatal outcomes of chronic intimate partner violence. Improvements are still needed in the areas of risk assessment, proactive interventions aimed to effective protection of victims of intimate partner violence (during and after the termination of a violent relationship), and the control of gun ownership for persons with the history of violence. It is also needed to improve legislative and institutional protection from stalking which precedes considerable number of homicidal victimizations of women by their former intimate partners
