Effectiveness of gender policy in the activities of the Ukrainian police in the context of intensifying European integration processes
Eficacia de la política de género en las actividades de la policía ucraniana en el contexto de la intensificación de los procesos de integración europea
Abstract
The article offers a comparative legal analysis of the legislation in the regulation of the combat and prevention of gender violence by the police, studying, for this, the best international experience in this area. It indicates the need to define in the law profile the specific subdivisions of the National Police that carry out prevention of domestic violence, gender violence (Department of Preventive Activities; Patrol Service; Youth Prevention Units; District Police Service) to regulate its powers, competences and attributions. It is argued that a number of organizational and technical measures will help to increase the effectiveness of gender policy in the activities of the Ukrainian police: the creation of widely available databases showing statistics on cases of gender-based domestic violence, investigations and punishments, categories of victims and perpetrators. By way of conclusion, the desirability of introducing international best practices in policing in this area is demonstrated, in particular the adaptation of the «Blue Card» procedure carried out by the Polish police.
