Abstract
Domestic violence is a big social. It was believed that domestic violence was purely family affair. That’s why it was not accepted to speak about it. The problem of the existence of domestic violence has always been characterized as complex and controversial. In addition, acts related to domestic violence remain largely latent. The international community has made great efforts to counter this disgraceful phenomenon by creating a network of parliamentarians and holding large-scale campaigns. The Council of Europe has given a concrete form to its action by adopting the Convention on the Prevention and Combating of Violence against Women and Domestic Violence, which was proposed for signature in Istanbul on May 11, 2011. The Istanbul Convention is a comprehensive international instrument aimed at protecting, preventing, judging and developing a strategy for combating violence against women and domestic violence. Ukraine signed the Istanbul Convention on November 7, 2011, although it has not yet ratified it. Nevertheless, the Verkhovna Rada adopted the laws «About prevention and resistance to the domestic violence» and «About rectification of the Criminal and Criminal Procedural Codes of Ukraine in order to implement the provisions of the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence». Thereby, a new concept of economic violence is introduced into the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The author analyzes the concept of economic violence as a form of domestic violence. The author believes that consolidating the state's intentions to counteract and prevent domestic violence at the legislative level is an important and necessary step that fully meets the requirements and views of the international community. At the same time, adopting amendments to the Criminal Code of Ukraine, the legislator was guided mostly by political and formal considerations. The author substantiates that the direct object of economic domestic violence does not correspond to the generic object of the second section of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. This provision of criminal law will compete with other related provisions of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Also, author underlines the imperfect of definition of domestic and economic violence for the purposes of criminal law.
