The grounds and conditions for the application of restrictive measures applied to persons, who have committed domestic violence, are provided in Art. 911 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. It is established that in the science of criminal law there is a unanimous position that the basis for the application of restrictive measures under Art. 911 of the Criminal Code is the commission by a person of a crime related to domestic violence, and the conditions are: 1) sentencing a person not related to imprisonment; 2) release of a person from criminal liability on the grounds provided by the Criminal Code; 3) release of a person from punishment on the grounds provided by the Criminal Code. These conditions are alternative. The content of the concept of «crime related to domestic violence» is analyzed and it is established that it should be understood more broadly than the act provided for in Art. 1261 of the Criminal Code «Domestic Violence». It is proposed to add to Art. 911 of the Criminal Code a note explaining the meaning of the term «criminal offense related to domestic violence», where it is necessary to note that this concept is broader than the crime under Art. 1261 of the Criminal Code. The content of each of the conditions of application of restrictive measures is analyzed. It has been established that in the application of restrictive measures during the imposition of non-custodial sentences in practice there are problems with the interpretation of the relevant concept. It is proposed to clarify the meaning of the concept of «punishment not related to imprisonment» in Art. 911 of the Criminal Code. It is also established that the application of restrictive measures in releasing a person from criminal liability is a declarative norm and is subject to exclusion from the conditions of application of restrictive measures due to the incompatibility of the latter with the nature of exemption from criminal liability. The legislation clearly regulates the procedure for applying restrictive measures to persons released from serving a probation sentence. A number of problems that arise during the control over the behaviour of persons to whom restrictive measures have been applied by the probation authorities have also been identified. The solution to these problems is possible by harmonizing the provisions of the Criminal Code and the Law of Ukraine «On Probation», as well as other regulations governing the activities of probation bodies. It is proposed to refer the application of restrictive measures to supervisory probation, which will lead to a number of changes to the articles of the Law of Ukraine «On Probation» in terms of regulation of supervisory probation, to refer to probation subjects persons subject to restrictive measures, and to exclude the fact that it is assigned to a person released from serving a probation sentence, and in the regulations governing the development and implementation of probation programs to provide for their application to persons to whom restrictive measures have been applied. It is concluded that the probation body should be endowed with a coordinating function to implement all restrictive measures and it is necessary at the level of bylaws to establish a clear procedure for interaction of the probation body with the National Police, local state administrations and local governments to control the behaviour of individuals, which the appropriate restrictive measure is applied.

It was stated that the problem of domestic violence for Ukraine remains relevant. This is evidenced not only by official statistics, but also by the number of people seeking help. A positive step in combating domestic violence is to complement the Criminal Code of Ukraine Art. 126-1. However, the disposition of this article contains some inaccuracies, among them the need to clarify which persons fall under the protection of this article. There is a similar problem in the draft Criminal Code of Ukraine, which the working group is currently working on. The article notes that an understanding of who may be victims of domestic violence as a criminal offense has a great scientific and practical importance. Because it will affect not only the correct criminal law qualification and the imposition of a fair and sufficient punishment, but also the application (or non-application) of restrictive measures against the offender, depending on how the person's actions will be qualified. The author analyzed the concepts of «close relations», «family relations», «close persons». As a result, it was concluded that these categories do not cover all persons protected by the Law of Ukraine «On Prevention and Counteraction to Domestic Violence». Therefore, to eliminate the inconsistency of criminal law with this Law, it is proposed in the disposition of Art. 126-1 «Domestic violence» of the Criminal Сode of Ukraine the phrase «concerning the spouse or the former spouse or other person with whom the guilty is (was) in family or close relations» and also in Art. 4.7.3. «Domestic violence» of the draft Criminal Code of Ukraine shall replace the phrase «concerning a spouse or other close person, including a former one» replaced by «concerning a person covered by the Law of Ukraine «On Prevention and Counteraction to Domestic Violence».

Restrictive Measures

Introduction. Restrictive measures applied to perpetrators of domestic violence are a relatively new type of criminal law measure provided for in current criminal law. The legislative and scientific novelty of these measures, the inconsistency norms of legislative acts, which regulate the procedure for their appointment and implementation, cause problems and difficulties in their practical application. Purpose. Analysis of the practice of restrictive measures provided for in paragraph 5 of Part 1 of Art. 91-1 of the Criminal code of Ukraine, revealing of problems and difficulties of their appointment and performance and statement of offers concerning possible overcoming of these problems, by elimination of legislative gaps and contradictions. Results. The article analyzes the practice of prescribing and implementing such restrictive measures applicable to perpetrators of domestic violence as "direction for program for abusers" and "direction for probation program". Problems and difficulties that arise due to the ambiguity of the wording of criminal law, the inconsistency of regulations governing the appointment and implementation of relevant measures, as well as the lack of professionalism of the judges. In particular, it was established that the judges did not specify which restrictive measure provided for in paragraph 5 of Part 1 of Article 91-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine should be applied to the convict, because it contains two different in content and procedure. This makes it impossible to enforce the sentence. Also, the lack of a mechanism for interaction of probation authorities with local state administrations and local self-government authorities makes it impossible for probation authorities to exercise control over convicts who are sent to undergo a program for abusers. Conclusion. It is proposed to amend Art. 91-1 of the Criminal code of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine "About probation" and other regulatory legal acts, for the purpose of elimination of the analyzed problems of application of restrictive measures.

Restrictive Measures

Domestic criminal law is being in constant dynamics, so it means that the norms of the current legislation are being improved, new, previously unknown, criminal-legal categories are being introduced, recommendations of in¬ternational institutions are taken into account, etc. Not an exception in this process is chapter XIII-1 of the General part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which regulates restrictive measures (these provisions came into force on January 11, 2019). From the moment of the regulation of restrictive measures in the Criminal Code of Ukraine, they have acquired the status of criminal-legal measures. Restrictive measures have a specific purpose - to protect the victim from a person who has committed a socially dangerous act, to protect against committing a socially danger¬ous act in relation to the victim in the future, to minimize the interaction between the person, who is in a dangerous state, and the victim, if such has the significant risks.This scientific article analyzes the conditions of application of restrictive measures in criminal law, in particular, it is determined that the concept of «crime related to domestic violence» is broader than the concept of «domestic violence» in Article 126-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine and can be used not only in the commission of this crime, but also in other socially dangerous acts that have signs of domestic violence; some considerations regarding the improvement of the grounds for the application of restrictive measures are highlighted; the correlation between the requirements of international acts and current provisions on restrictive measures is considered.A detailed analysis of the types of restrictive measures that are in the Criminal Code of Ukraine was made. The need for some legislative changes and additions is argued, this concerns the wording of the names of types of restric¬tive measures; new concepts that should be enshrined at the legislative level; meaningful content of such varieties. The conclusion was made that the regulation of restrictive measures in the Criminal Code of Ukraine is a positive step, but due to the novelty of this legal category there is a need for their partial editing and changes.

Subjective Side

The Institute of mitigating and aggravating circumstances is presented not only in the norms of the General part of the criminal legislation of the Russian Federation. The application of these circumstances in the construction of individual elements of a crime allows the legislator to differentiate the orientation of the criminal law influence in relation to a specific crime element or in qualifying the fact of life reality. In law enforcement practice, proving the subjective side of a crime often causes significant problems. At the same time, motivation and achievement of a specific goal of committing a crime can have both a mitigating and an aggravating effect. The subjective side has a significant impact not only on the design of the offenses of the Special Part of the Criminal Law, but also on the process of sentencing through legal regulation of circumstances mitigating or aggravating criminal punishment. In this regard, both general and mandatory features of the subject of the crime also affect the procedure for establishing guilt and determining punishment in accordance with the norms of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Of scientific interest is the study of the influence of the process of legal regulation of mitigating and aggravating circumstances in terms of the impact on this process of subjective signs of criminal behavior.

The study deals with the issue of whether the norms of criminal law make a distinction between male and female sex with regard to the perpetrator of the criminal offence as well as with regard to the victim of the criminal offence and also the issue of whether male or female sex have any role in the criminal law. It is with this objective in mind that the author analyzed the provisions of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Croatia and statistical data on total crime in the Republic of Croatia and the relation between male and female perpetrators of criminal offences. The statistical data reveal that men commit a far greater number of offences than women. Apart from this, women and men also differ according to the type of the criminal offence they tend to commit. Women as perpetrators of criminal offences that involve the element of violence are very rare. At the same time, women are very often victims of violent offences perpetrated by men, which leads us to the term of gender-based violence. Although significant steps forward have been made at the normative level in the Republic of Croatia in defining and sanctioning of genderbased violence, gender stereotypes can still be observed in practice when sexual crimes are in question so that we can witness domestic violence on a daily basis. All of this leads to the conclusion that it is necessary to make further efforts in order to remove all obstacles that prevent changes in social relations and ensure equality between women and men, not only de jure but also de facto.

Under the influence of international standards, in the first place of the Istanbul Convention, in Serbia at the beginning of this century, there were several statutory texts such as the Criminal Law (2002), the Family Law (2005), the Criminal Code (2005) and the Law on the Prevention of Violence in the family (2016) determined the concept, elements, characteristics and forms of manifestation of the criminal act of domestic violence, as well as a system of preventive and punitive measures in order to prevent and suppress it. However, there is a greater or lesser disparity between legislative solutions and judicial practice, which also affects the efficiency of the functioning of the judiciary, and therefore the rule of law in general. To a large extent they contribute to the results of the policy of criminal prosecution, ie the criminal policy of the courts for the criminal offense of domestic violence in the last decade in Serbia whose results are presented in this paper.
