In a recent interview, Yiannis Panousis, a criminology professor at the University of Athens, discussed the alarming increase in domestic violence among couples in Greece. He attributed this surge to a breakdown in family structures and the shifting dynamics of modern relationships. Panousis emphasized that societal values are in flux, leading to confusion and tension around rights and responsibilities within families. He argued that without a clear legal framework, issues like youth violence and domestic abuse are exacerbated, and called for a re-evaluation of familial roles in light of these challenges.
