Domestic Violence Prevention

The research object is social relations emerging in the process of the prevention of assault and torture as manifestations of donmestic violence. The research subject is the crime prevention legislation, administrative responsibility laws, federal and regional program-targeted documents regulating the sphere of domestic violence, and theoretical insights into this topic. The purpose of the research is to analyze regional tendencies of legal regulation of the prevention of assault and torture, as a part of the system of domestic violence prevention in Russia. To achieve this goal and research tasks, the author uses general scientific (analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction) and specific research methods, with the formal-legal method as a basic one, which is connected with the analysis of legal regulations in their system unity. The scientific novelty of the research is proved by the fact that regional peculiarities of legal regulation of the prevention of assault and torture as a part of the system of domestic violence prevention haven’t been studied sufficiently enough. Assault and torture are the factors signalling about the aggravation of home conflicts and leading to the further escalation. In Russia, municipalities create  a system of measures which includes some or all of the following elements: 1) the formation of public awareness about the domestic violence problem; 2) information and methodology support for the activities of law-enforcement agencies and social services responsible for the prevention of domestic violence; 3) the provision of interaction between medical institutions and law-enforcement bodies and social services; 4) the introduction of punishment for home rowdyism and the provocation of home conflicts.

The relevance of the study of the problems of truth in law is conditioned by the essential nature of man and his purposeful activity, including the sphere of legal regulation of social relations. At the present stage, the issue of securing the principle of truth in the norms of Russian law is not unambiguously resolved. In this regard, it seems relevant to investigate the issues of the legalization of truth and the mechanisms for its achievement in the conditions of application of measures of legal responsibility. The paper is devoted to the study of philosophical foundations of truth in law, the analysis of practical significance of obtaining truth in the procedural branches of law on the basis of analysis of the norms of the procedural legislation of the Russian Federation. Formal-legal and comparative-legal methods are used for a comprehensive analysis of procedural legislation and the implementation of the principle of objective truth in the legislation. With the use of the dialectical method, epistemological grounds and their significance for the implementation of law enforcement activities are revealed. The article reflects the views of researchers on the content of truth and the realization of the principle of objective truth in law. The conclusion is made that it is necessary to interpret the principle of objective truth as universal one, which must permeate not only the sphere of law enforcement, but also the formation of laws. A proposal is formulated on the need to separate and normatively fix the principle of objective truth in the procedural branches of law as an independent principle. Law enforcement agencies should strive achieving objective truth in the cases in question.

The article deals with the situation of domestic violence against women in Ukraine during the COVID-19 pandemic. A comparison of various statistical and reporting materials of the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine, the National Police of Ukraine, courts, free legal aid centres, international organizations led to the conclusion that although in Ukraine there is intolerance of domestic violence against women in its various manifestations. This phenomenon is still often invisible and takes many different forms, stemming from the gender inequalities that women face throughout their lives, from childhood to old age. The main tasks and measures that are aimed at preventing and combating domestic violence against women are identified and an analysis of their implementation is analysed. Such measures include prevention of domestic violence by overcoming negative stereotypes in Ukrainian society, raising public awareness of the forms, manifestations, causes and consequences of domestic violence; responding to domestic violence by building a new violence response system to ensure coordination and effective interaction of specially bodies authorized implementing measures to prevent and combat domestic violence, other bodies and institutions performing functions related to carrying out activities in the field of domestic violence prevention and counteraction to domestic violence; ensuring the availability and quality of providing necessary social services to victims of domestic violence; proper investigation of the facts of domestic violence, bringing the perpetrators to justice and changing their behaviour. It is concluded that domestic violence against women is one of the most pressing problems of our time and that the ratification of the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence remains important for Ukraine, the introduction of an information campaign against domestic violence against women to create a culture of zero tolerance, raise awareness of the existence of various types of assistance for women victims of domestic violence (receiving legal assistance, psychological assistance, various social services, support and protection).

AbstractFirearms increase the risk of lethality in violent intimate relationships. Policies that restrict access to firearms by respondents to civil domestic violence protective orders (DVROs) are associated with reductions in intimate partner homicide, yet there is scant literature about how such prohibitions are implemented. We document how four localities are implementing gun possession prohibitions that result from civil and criminal restraining orders and domestic violence misdemeanor convictions; and assess the findings in the context of Kingdon’s agenda setting framework. We identified four jurisdictions where gun dispossession of prohibited domestic violence offenders was underway and collected data through in-depth interviews, site visits, and documents. We coded the data, identified explanatory themes, and compared the findings to Kingdon’s framework. The four jurisdictions have policies ranging from no state laws restricting domestic violence offenders’ access to guns to comprehensive state laws. We describe implementation initiatives to dispossess prohibited people of their guns in the four jurisdictions, two distinct implementation models through which gun dispossession occurs, and an expanded application of Kingdon’s model. In each jurisdiction, we identified one or more individuals who championed implementation. Policies that prohibit domestic violence offenders from possessing guns are promising, and possible in diverse settings and jurisdictions. Here we provide insight into implementation efforts in four jurisdictions, emphasize the role of individuals in prioritizing implementation, and highlight the potential to realize these restrictions across states with different laws. Focusing on implementation is a much-needed paradigm shift that complements the traditional focus on passing domestic violence prevention laws.

The issue of post-mortem examination of animals, whose death occurred as a result of suffered gunshot wounds, is very rarely discussed in literature, most often on the occasion of researching into and describing other problems. This article presents an attempt to bring together the achievements of veterinary forensics in this area. As a starting point, the current legal regulation was adopted, pointing to penal sanctions resulting from the illegal use of weapons in relation to animals. Subsequently, the possibilities of using modern imaging techniques in post-mortem examinations carried out by veterinarians at the request of law enforcement agencies were presented. The scientific reports discussed herein have been supplemented by examples of sectional examinations carried out at the request of law enforcement agencies in Polish scientific institutions. The article indicates that the results of examination of gunshot wounds suffered by people in various circumstances may be used for the purpose of issuing forensic veterinary opinions, just as the results of examination of gunshot wounds of large mammals may be helpful in examining the effects of gunshot injuries in humans.
