MANIPULATION OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE RESPONSE TOOLS: THE PROBLEM OF FALSE REPORTS AND ABUSE OF SPECIAL MEASURES

Abstract

The article examines the categories of tools used to combat domestic 
violence. It explores the issue of deliberately false reports of domestic violence, 
which are submitted not to protect the victim, but to gain personal or procedural 
advantages. Typical methods of abuse in this area are identified, such as initiating 
the issuance of an emergency restraining order or a protective order with the aim 
of evicting a person from the residence, restricting communication with a child, or 
influencing divorce and property division proceedings. Common forms of such 
abuse are outlined.
