The senior as a perpetrator for home violence
SMETANA, Marek
Home violence problem has been solved more intensively in the Czech Republic since 2000. Perpetrators for home violence are usually men as partners in life and they are very sporadically at senior age. From the sociological point of view seniors embody a kind of specificity; therefore, it sounds interesting to focus, within the thesis, on home violence perpetrated by seniors. The introduction of the bachelor thesis goes into explaining some basic concepts, reasons, kinds and forms of home violence. Besides, it is focused on seniors as a specific sociological group. In the main body of the thesis there are case studies of home violence files, which are at Písek Regional Department of the Police of the Czech Republic, of perpetrators above the age of 65 and the investigations of home violence specifics of the age category are documented there. The thesis target was to focus on specifications of the senior as a perpetrator for home violence and to describe reasons leading to home violence in their world. Findings can be used for the shaping of preventative measures to minimize home violence perpetrated by seniors. Six home violence case reports were studied at Písek Regional Department of the Police of the Czech Republic via the qualitative research technique. Seniors were perpetrators of those cases. Specifics of the mentioned age category of home violence perpetrators were disclosed by interviewing investigators of the cases via the no-standardised form of interview. Research results of the studied cases confirm the fact that perpetrators{\crq} partners tend to excuse perpetrators{\crq} violence. Periods of violence, tranquility and forgiveness usually take turns in the cohabitation of partners. Police investigators should improve their own skills in the field of appropriate communication with both the aggressive and violent perpetrator and the victim of the home violence. Police investigators should also deepen their coordination with organisations which help victims of home violence. Police training centres should hone investigators{\crq} skills in the field of assertive techniques, which are focused on appropriate communication with seniors and with other specific groups.
