PRINCIPLES OF INVESTIGATION OF CRIMINAL OFFENSES RELATED TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE COMMITTED WITH HOSTILE MOTIVES

Abstract

The article examines forensic constructions that arise during the commission of criminal offenses related to domestic violence. Such constructions are formed in accordance with the legally defined forms of domestic violence and are conditioned by the motive of hostility. The analysis of investigative and judicial practice made it possible to single out the most common criminal offenses of this category, to determine the investigative situations of the initial stage of the investigation, and to propose forensic technologies for solving pre-trial investigation tasks. Attention is focused on the fact that both persons who systematically commit domestic violence and persons who are victims, and in some cases witnesses, of domestic violence commit criminal offenses with hostile motives. Hostile motives are most common in domestic violence criminal offenses, initiating not only aggressive behavior, but also a desire to destroy, destroy, or maim another person. Criminally illegal motive can be defined as emotional, psychological and material needs that motivate and are satisfied by the behavior of a person. In criminal offenses related to domestic violence committed with hostile motives, it should be remembered that violent actions are aimed at both physical and psychological health. The organization and planning of the investigation of criminal offenses related to domestic violence requires the synergy of investigation methods of each type of criminal offense united by a single motive. The collected evidence base serves not only as evidence in court, but also as tools for ensuring pre-trial investigation tactics.
