I have a question about the level of punishment for domestic violence.

Hello. This is Daeryun Law LLC.

Recently, the level of punishment for domestic violence has been strengthened.

Rather than an increase in the actual number of violent incidents, public awareness of violence is growing, so the reporting rate relative to the harm is increasing.

Domestic violence or child abuse occurring in the home is a crime that can be severely punished.

According to the Act on Special Cases concerning the Punishment of Crimes of Domestic Violence, if the victim does not want punishment or withdraws their intention to punish, the case may be concluded with criminal punishment, community service, counseling, probation, and the like.

However, a domestic violence perpetrator who fails to comply even after receiving a protection order is punishable by imprisonment for up to 2 years or a fine of up to 20 million won or detention.

In this case, even if the matter is not registered as a domestic violence case, the reporting history and the like can be checked later, so you must be careful

Attorneys specializing in criminal law at Daeryun Law LLC represent clients and carry out settlement on their behalf with the victim.

Although I cannot know your more detailed and specific situation, if you are in an unfair position of having been reported due to a misunderstanding, similar to your case, you must firmly establish your position and assertions through an active defense.
