2004
Brief Description
An important step in the strategy for prevention and education was the introduction of family violence as a topic in the professional training curriculum for, among others, the Judiciary Academy (for judges and officials), the Carabineros (for police officers of all ranks), and in certain branches and postgraduate programmes in universities. The issue has also been introduced, in part and in various ways, into the high schools, where students of both sexes are encouraged to research the matter in libraries and documentation centres or to seek counselling with professional experts.
