What does the systematic nature of domestic violence mean?

One of the key criteria that distinguishes administrative liability for domestic violence from criminal liability is the systematic nature of domestic violence as a criminal offense. This characteristic determines whether a case can be classified as a criminal offense or an administrative violation. 

According to court practice, the phrase “systematic commission of physical, psychological, or economic violence” refers not to a single isolated incident, but to repeated behaviour. Domestic violence is considered a criminal offense upon the commission of the third act of violence - physical, psychological, or economic - those results in at least one of the legally defined consequences. 

It does not matter whether the first two incidents were documented in police administrative protocols, restraining orders, or other official documents. While such documentation can be helpful in proving systematic behaviour, it is neither the only nor a mandatory form of evidence. The court may consider any other admissible evidence according to the law.
