| Annotation: | The article is devoted to the study of family torture in terms of its social danger in combination with other crimes against the person, criminological assessment of torture as one of the types of domestic violence, the study of the criminological risks of family torture in order to victimologically protect victims from domestic violence, and the development of proposals for the prevention of domestic violence. In 75% of cases in Russia, women suffer from domestic violence, and in marriages, this figure increases to 91%. In 2024, about 2,000 children in Russia suffered from domestic violence. In total, in 2024, more than 21,000 crimes against children were investigated, among them torture accounts for 0.5%, i.e. torture accounts for 2.1% of all crimes, which is a significant indicator and underlines the relevance of studying and developing measures to prevent beatings and torture, which have not been fully developed to date. Moreover, beatings and torture have become the most widespread crimes in the family and household sphere. Recently, a difficult situation has been develo- ping in the Russian Federation as a whole and in its regions in particular, due to the increased detection of cases of intrafamily violence. The structure of crimes in the field of family violence shows that family torture occupies a significant share among other types of violence in the family and household sphere. They are often associated with crimes such as beatings, death threats, and injury to health of varying severity. In general criminal statistics, the proportion of family torture may seem relatively small, but its social significance and negative impact on individuals and society are extremely high, which requires special attention to this category of crimes. An important area of prevention is the introduction of educational programs aimed at preventing domestic violence, as well as rehabilitation measures for aggressors. | ||
