Criminological assessment of the consequences of crimes in the domestic sphere against women

The article considers the consequences of domestic violence against women. At the same time, it is noted that victims of domestic violence may face gender stereotypes and beliefs at any stage of the treatment proceedings. The consequences most affect the emotional intelligence of women, because it causes fear, insecurity, fear for children, anxiety, and distrust of people. It is noted, however, that a system of both public and private institutions exists to provide assistance to victims and some support. At the same time, it is pointed out that there are no uniform standards regarding the number of crisis centers that need to be established in cities and district centers, and the extent of services they provide to victims of domestic violence. The authors also argue that there is a need to increase civic initiatives in order to increase the capacity of the victims' relief fund.

The goal of this article is to identify the consequences of domestic violence. Methods of systematization, comparison and ranking were used for data processing and analysis. The results of this study are the authors' individual recommendations aimed at improving standards in this area.
