The scientific article reveals the essence of physical violence as a form of domestic violence and unlawful behavior of a person. Signs of physical violence in the family have been identified. In general, the reasons that lead to domestic violence are: a) social; b) economic; c) pedagogical; d) rights; e) political; e) physiological and other.
The normative basis of the study is the Constitution, laws and other normative-legal acts of Ukraine, which regulate measures against violence, agreements, declarations.
Also, the programs for victims and those who committed this offense, which are reflected in the Law of Ukraine «On Prevention and Suppression», are considered. The field of publicity and state structures in the implementation of legislation on counteraction to physical violence is highlighted.
The conclusion was that physical violence in family relations requires not only the strengthening of responsibility under the Criminal Code of Ukraine and the Code of Conduct. As well as writing a methodological recommendation based on the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses to Prevent Physical Violence.
