CAUSES OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND ITS FORMS

Abstract

This article examines the various manifestations of domestic violence and looks for historical-legal arguments in favor of the expediency and the possibility of correcting the relevant social relations through legislation. The study is based on an analysis of national legislation, which is both current and actual. The author deals in detail with such aspects of the topic as the origins and methods of combating domestic violence. The main results of the study are the thesis on the impact of a number of factors on the formation of domestic violence traditions, including the legacy of an authoritarian social order, religious and ethical imperatives, economic deprivation of the family and society as a whole. The scientific novelty of the work is determined by the disclosure of facts indicating the worldwide prevalence of domestic violence and the formulation of a number of proposals based on world experience of prevention, including the adoption of appropriate social development programs and laws on the prevention of domestic violence.
