INTERACTION OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION BODIES AND SOCIETY AS A FACTOR OF OVERCOME SHOWED VIOLENCE IN THE FAMILY

Abstract

The article is devoted to a problem that is relevant for modern Ukraine - domestic violence, which undermines the foundations of life not only of the family, but also of society in general. The conceptual apparatus of the research is considered and the terms: «public administration», «public», «civil society» are analyzed. It is noted that the public, as a participant in the interaction with the state, does not include a chaotic and mechanical collection of individuals living in the relevant territory, but participants of effective interaction, constructive dialogue and cooperation, that is, an organized public, as well as a public characterized by self-identity and self-awareness, the presence ideals and values. In a certain context, the category «society» acquires quite specific features, transforming into the category «civil society». It was established that in Ukraine, violence in the family is distinguished by a high degree of latency. This is expressed in the reluctance of victims to apply to competent authorities, as well as the inability of dependent family members to apply to law enforcement agencies. Another factor in the latency of violence in the family is the reluctance and partial inability of law enforcement agencies to provide real protection for the victims. The characteristics of the types of family cruelty are given: from parents to children, from one spouse to another, and from children and grandchildren to elderly relatives. It is noted that each variant of violence is an independent problem that has specific characteristics and ways of developing preventive measures. A number of factors associated with violence in the family are highlighted. These include: unequal family distribution of roles, living in rural areas, lack of complete secondary education and alcohol abuse by one of the spouses. Circumstances that reduce the risk of violence are a situation of mutual understanding and family support. The main domestic methods used today in the fight against domestic violence are described. These include: administrative and legal regulation of the system and legal status of the subjects of combating violence and general and individual prevention of family aggressors by keeping them on preventive records. Modern forms of interaction between public administration bodies and the public are defined, namely: the involvement of public organizations and their specialized institutions in the provision of a range of services in the field of combating violence in the family, the involvement of the public in the fight against child abuse and the right to initiate at the meeting «advisory body», consisting of representatives of public and social entities, the issue of taking the family under social support, based on the consideration of materials about the state of the family, which found itself in difficult life circumstances.
