Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the features of legal protection of victims of domestic violence, with the purpose of identifying the positive experience that has been proved in practice and, therefore, is worth following in Ukraine as in other countries to prevent this form of violence. To achieve this purpose, general and special scientific research methods were used, in particular dialectical, historical-legal, systematic, comparative legal methods. In this regard, international experience in dealing with cases related to domestic violence was also studied using the examples of European countries and Canada and the United States. The legal provision for the protection of persons who have suffered domestic violence was also considered. As a contribution of the research, the problems of legal provision of judicial protection of victims of domestic violence in Ukraine were revealed and, at the same time, suggestions were made to improve the legislation regulating the killing. It is concluded that it is necessary to strengthen the position of the victim of domestic violence by giving her the opportunity to claim compensation for moral damages within the framework of a given criminal proceedings.
