Abstract
Objective: to improve the system of bodies for prevention of family violence against the under-aged in South-Siberian region. Methods: an integrity of general scientific (analysis, synthesis, systemic analysis, comparative method, generalization) and special scientific (statistics and documents study) methods. Results: the article views the issues arising and existing in the activity of bodies of the system for prevention family violence against the under-aged. The author states that there are gaps in the normative regulation of these bodies’ functioning and problems of information interaction between them; the absence of personified databank of children and families, where violence occurs, as it is stipulated by law; the lack of a unified approach to the recognition of families and children as being in socially dangerous situation; the lack of a unified approach to processing of these solutions; formalism in the work; the insufficiency of personnel. The article attempts to determine the directions of improving the functioning of prevention bodies to overcome the problems identified. Based on this analysis, the author also offers the mechanism to coordinate the interaction of these bodies. Scientific novelty: though the problem of family violence against the under-aged is acute, researchers had not paid sufficient attention to the study of individual aspects of the issue. Inadequate knowledge of the problem entails the lack of a true understanding of the causes and conditions that determine family violence; as a consequence, there are drawbacks in the organization of effective prevention system of this category of crimes.The imperfection of the prevention bodies functioning is, in fact, one of the conditions contributing to the occurrence of family violence against the under-aged. This problem was not raised by the researchers, who mainly dwell on the organization of these bodies’ functioning. In addition, the study of the question indicated in the title, as well as the problems of family violence in general, has never been conducted by the evidence of Southern Siberia. However, this particular region has its own peculiarities, due not only to its geographical position, but also the national characteristics of the population living on its territory. All this allows to speak of the scientific novelty of the issue.Practical significance: the conclusions stated in the article can be used in scientific, law enforcement and educational processes.
