CAT/C/PRT/CO/5-6 enforcement personnel only. The Committee is of the view that electrical discharge weapons should not be part of the equipment of custodial staff in prisons or any other place of deprivation of liberty. The Committee urges the State party to strictly monitor and supervise their use. Redress, including compensation and rehabilitation 16. While welcoming the adoption of Act No. 104/2009 (para. 5 (e) above) and the establishment of the Commission for the Protection of Crime Victims (CPVC), which grants compensation to and provides social support and rehabilitation for victims of violent crimes and of domestic violence in advance of the outcome of criminal proceedings, the Committee regrets the lack of information on compensation awarded by the CPVC or the courts of the State party to the victims of torture or ill-treatment (art. 14). The Committee draws the attention of the State party to the recently adopted general comment No. 3 (2012) on article 14 of the Convention, in which the Committee explains the content and scope of the obligations of States parties to provide full redress to victims of torture. The State party should compile, and provide the Committee with, information on: (a) Redress and compensation measures ordered by the CPVC or the courts and provided to victims of torture or ill-treatment or to their families. This information should include the number of requests made and the number of requests granted, as well as the amounts ordered and actually provided in each case; and (b) Any ongoing rehabilitation programmes for victims of torture and illtreatment. The State party should also allocate adequate resources to effectively implement such programmes and inform the Committee thereof. Domestic violence 17. The Committee welcomes the legislative and other measures aimed at preventing and combating domestic violence (para. 5 (e) above), including the criminalization of domestic violence and corporal punishment of children under article 152 of the Criminal Code and the adoption of the Fourth National Action Plan against Domestic Violence (2011–2013). However, the Committee recalls its previous concern (CAT/C/PRT/CO/4, para. 15) regarding the high prevalence of this phenomenon, including the high number of deaths, and notes the insufficient data provided regarding prosecutions, type of sanctions imposed and reparation in these cases (arts. 2, 12, 13 and 16). The State party should continue its efforts to combat domestic violence, inter alia, by: (a) Ensuring the effective implementation of the legal framework and the Fourth National Action Plan against Domestic Violence, including by promptly, effectively and impartially investigating all incidents of violence against women and prosecuting those responsible; (b) Continuing to conduct public awareness-raising campaigns to fight domestic violence and gender stereotypes, particularly among young people, and increasing training for law enforcement officers, judges, lawyers and social workers; (c) Undertaking research into the impact of preventive measures and criminal justice responses to counter domestic violence, with a view to increasing their efficiency; and (d) Compiling and providing the Committee with disaggregated data on the number of complaints, investigations, prosecutions and sentences handed down for acts of domestic violence, on the provision of redress to the victims and on the difficulties experienced in preventing such acts. 7
