Domácí násilí představuje široce rozšířený a zároveň nejméně kontrolovaný druh násilí, který v sobě zahrnuje všechny projevy psychického, fyzického a sexuálního násilí páchaného mezi osobami, které by k sobě měly mít nejblíže. Ještě donedávna bylo domácí násilí, byť jde o závažný celospolečenský fenomén, považováno spíše za okrajový problém naší společnosti. Také vybavení jednotlivých regionů sociálními službami zabývajícími se touto problematikou není u nás stále ještě ideální. Realizací výzkumu byly zmapovány názory obyvatel regionu Český Krumlov týkající se problematiky domácího násilí s akcentem na zjišťování úrovně právního povědomí v této oblasti a úrovně informovanosti o existenci institucí zabývajících se touto problematikou, kam by se mohli obrátit v případě, že se stanou obětí domácího násilí.

The violence in families poses a widespread and simultaneously least controllable type of the cruelty, which includes all features of the physical and sexual violence occurring just between persons, who should have the best relations to each other. Until recently, the violence in families was rather considered as a marginal problem in our society in spite of the fact that it is actually a serious problem of the society as whole. Conditions for providing social services aimed at these problems in particular regions are ever not ideal in our country. By the implementation of the research work, opinions were mapped of inhabitants of the region Český Krumlov concerning problems of the violence in families with putting emphasize on determining the level of the legal awareness in this field and level of knowledge concerning the existence of institutions dealing with these problems, which could be addressed by those, who become its victims.

The article tries to react to a very current issue of help to perpetrators of domestic violence. Most organisations in the Czech Republic focus only on help to victims of domestic violence. The possibility of providing help to perpetrators of domestic violence still remains to be an unexplored area. Thus, the aim of the research was to map organisations in the Czech Republic that could provide such help, to find out what experience with perpetrators of domestic violence these organisations have had up to now, and what is their attitude to such help. The research results showed that help provided to perpetrators of domestic violence is considered to be a necessary part of domestic violence prevention. A number of organisations that could provide help to perpetrators of domestic violence were found. Most of these organisations were found in the South-Moravian and Central- Bohemian Regions, fewest of them were found in the Olomouc Region. Advisory centres for family, marriage and interpersonal relations and marriage and family advisory centres were the organisations that had most experience with perpetrators of domestic violence. These organisations were able to provide most social-legal and psychological consultancy within their competencies. Despite their above-mentioned experience with perpetrators of domestic violence most of them support the idea of establishing special workplaces that would focus only on work with this specific group of people. What seems to be the most problematic matter is especially the fact that the system of help to perpetrators of domestic violence in the Czech Republic is not controlled and consistent enough.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: It has been well established that long-term antipsychotic treatment prevents relapse, lowers number of rehospitalisations, and also effectively reduces violent behaviour. Although violent behaviour is not a typical manifestation of schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders, the diagnosis of psychosis increases the overall risk of violence. One of the few modifiable factors of violence risk is adherence with medication. In contrast, non-adherence with drug treatment and subsequent relapse increases risk of violent acts. Non-adherence can be addressed partially by long-acting injectable antipsychotics (LAI). The aim of our review was to examine the role of antipsychotic drugs, especially LAI, in prevention and management of violent behaviour in psychosis. METHODS: This is a non-systematic, narrative review of the data from open, naturalistic, retrospective, and population studies, case series, and post hoc analyses of randomised controlled trials. Search of electronic databases (PubMed, Embase) was performed to identify relevant papers. RESULTS: Nine published papers (3 cross-sectional chart reviews, 4 retrospective studies, 2 prospective, randomised trials) were found. The results indicated positive clinical and antiaggressive effects of LAI in psychotic patients with high risk of violent behaviour. DISCUSSION: Reviewed evidence suggests that secured drug treatment with LAI may have clinical benefit in schizophrenia patients with high risk of violent behaviour. LAI significantly reduced the severity of hostility, aggressivity, number of violent incidents, and criminal offences. These findings are supported further by the empirical evidence from clinical practice, high rates of prescribed LAI to schizophrenia patients in high-security and forensic psychiatric facilities. CONCLUSIONS: Available data encourage the use of LAI in forensic psychiatry, especially during court-ordered commitment treatment.

Purpose: To prevent violence among persons with psychosis, further knowledge of the correlates and risk factors is needed. These risk factors may vary by nation. Patients and methods: This study examined factors associated with violent assaults in 158 patients with psychosis and in a matched control sample of 158 adults without psychosis in the Czech Republic. Participants completed interviews and questionnaires to confirm diagnoses, report on aggressive behavior, current and past victimization, and substance use. Additional information was collected from collateral informants and clinical files. Multiple regression analyses were conducted to identify factors that were independently associated with committing an assault in past 6 months. Results: The presence of a psychotic disorder was associated with an increased risk of assaults (OR =3.80; 95% CI 2.060-7.014). Additional risk factors in persons with and without psychosis included recent physical victimization (OR =7.09; 95% CI 3.922-12.819), childhood maltreatment (OR =3.15; 95% CI 1.877-5.271), the level of drug use (OR =1.13; 95% CI 1.063-1.197), and the level of alcohol use (OR =1.04; 95% CI 1.000-1.084). Increasing age (OR =0.96; 95% CI 0.942-0.978) and employment (OR =0.30; 95% CI 0.166-0.540) were protective factors. Except for drug use, which appeared to have greater effect on violence in the group without psychosis, there were no major differences between patients and controls in these risk and protective factors. To our knowledge, this is the first published comparison of assault predictors between schizophrenia patients and matched controls. Conclusion: Recent physical victimization was the strongest predictor of assaults. Our findings are consistent with the emerging empirical evidence pointing to the very important role of victimization in eliciting violent behavior by the victims. Some current prediction instruments may underestimate the risk of violent behavior as they take little account of current victimization. Although psychosis per se elevates the risk of violence, other risk and protective factors for violence in persons with psychosis and comparison group are largely similar.
