This is in accordance with the principle of minimal proof in criminal cases,
namely the existence of at least two valid pieces of evidence according to the law
and the belief that the suspect is guilty. The obstacle is that there are still many
women who do not understand the importance of legal techniques such as the
function of visum et repertum in cases of violence. It is still necessary to increase
the number of female investigators and their competence. Infrastructure still needs
to be improved for the mobility of handling cases of domestic violence.
