The background of the research is that cases of domestic violence are
special cases that have special characteristics, especially in the investigation
process. The process of searching for evidence requires special steps considering
that cases of domestic violence involve the scope of the household, which is
relatively an internal problem for the family members themselves.

research that only uses secondary data as research material. The nature of the
research is descriptive. Data collection was carried out by means of a literature
study. Data analysis was carried out in a qualitative normative manner.
The results of the study show that the investigation process into
allegations of committing acts of physical violence by a husband against his wife is
processed by stages of the crime scene to obtain various evidences in order to make
clear about the events that occurred. In the cases discussed in addition to the
statements of the witnesses, also by asking for information from the witnesses of
the victims who experienced the incident. On this basis, based on the evidence
collected, it was concluded that the incident met the criminal element so that it could
proceed to the investigation stage. The obstacles in conducting investigations in the
cases discussed are: Cases of domestic violence are generally reported by victims
within a relatively long period of time. In addition, there are difficulties in asking
witnesses for statements because in general the culture of the community does not
want to interfere in other people's household affairs. For some members of the
community to interfere in other people's household affairs, especially those
involving legal issues, is considered inappropriate. Another obstacle is the difficulty
of obtaining information from victims who have severe trauma.
