Legislating domestic violence in China: Obstacles - Next show - 中國(guó)反家庭暴力立法：難點(diǎn) - 下期預(yù)告

Our guests mentioned several issues Chinese lawmakers and citizens have to think about when drafting a specialized law – for example, the concept of domestic violence and the difficulty in finding evidence to prove it. They also mentioned, if China were to pass such legislation, the function of the law shouldn’t be limited to punishment after violence but also involve prevention of violence, protection of the vulnerable and education of the public. How will or should China address these questions? Can a law achieve these goals? We will look into them in our next episode.

我們的嘉賓談到幾個(gè)在制定反家庭暴力法時(shí)，立法者和公民需要考慮的問題，比如：家庭暴力本身的定義、取證的難度等。她們同時(shí)也談到，如果中國(guó)要通過這樣一部法律，它的功能不應(yīng)當(dāng)僅僅局限于事后的懲罰，而應(yīng)該包括預(yù)防、救助和教育等功能。那么政府應(yīng)該如何解決這些問題呢？一部法律是否就能真的達(dá)到這些目標(biāo)？我們會(huì)在下期解析這些問題。
