Abstract

The problem of domestic violence is a form of crime that insults and tarnishes human dignity. Domestic violence can be categorized as a type of crime against humanity. Concerning domestic violence as a crime, it is regulated in the Timor-Leste State Law, No. 7 of 2010 concerning the Eradication of Domestic Violence. This research aims to find out the regulation of acts of domestic violence and the application of punishment for perpetrators of domestic violence. This research applied the normative juridical research method. This research is only limited to setting existing norms and the results of court decisions in the case of domestic violence that already exist and are described. The results show that the regulation of acts of domestic violence still uses the existing provisions in the Timor-Leste Criminal Code, and the arrangements are incomplete, such as psychological and economic violence are not included in acts of domestic violence. The application of punishment is only limited to the provisions in Law No. 7 of 2010 and there needs to be a change.
