methods, interpretive methods, hermeneutic methods, analytical-synthetic methods.
The definition of the legislation of Ukraine in the field of combating and preventing domestic violence in the family
includes legislative and by-laws, departmental and normative legal acts. It is worth noting that the National Police of
Ukraine exercises its powers in the field of prevention and countermeasures against domestic violence taking into account
international standards of response of law enforcement agencies to cases of domestic violence and risk assessment. The
general and special measures applied to offenders, as well as the specifics of the application of these measures by preventive
units of the National Police of Ukraine in the field of prevention and countermeasures against domestic violence, are clarified.

prevention of domestic violence to the generally recognized norms and standards in international relations, as well as the
corresponding standards of European and other countries, by the police units that carry out the activities of the National
Police of Ukraine, is one of the main directions of reforming the law enforcement system of Ukraine.
