Related to future developments, the law is too new to be changed, even though it implies serious problems in the understanding of dimensions and characteristics of the phenomenon. Due to the decisions following International agreements signed by the Italian Government for the future Italy will be required to introduce the concept of victim in its judiciary system: the expectation is that this will lead to a revision of the actual procedure which considers only offended parties and not victims. Another expected development, which may lead to consequences on the statistical portrait of the phenomenon, is a revision of the role attributed to different sectors of justice, to be able to support the victim and to blame the offender also in case of non reporting: administrative justice, to introduce a special authority on GBV, etc.
