Protection from Violence not Dangerous to the Life and Health of a Victim. Is the Case Private or Public? Article 1. Criminological, Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, and Administrative Aspects of the Unified Socio-Cultural Problem of Violence in the Family, Household, Labor, and Military Community
Kolokolov N.A. Protection from violence not dangerous to the life and health of a victim. Is the case private or public? Article 1. Criminological, criminal law, criminal procedure, and administrative aspects of the unified socio-cultural problem of violence in the family, household, labor, and military community. Penitentiary Science, 2026, vol. 20, no. 1 (73), pp. 78–90. doi 10.46741/2686-9764.2026.73.1.010.
the issue of the limits of public intervention in private conflicts, especially against the background of decriminalization of beatings and development of the institution of administrative prejudice, is debatable. The author raises important issues of legal qualification, judicial practice and social attitudes. The purpose of the study is to determine a socio-legal phenomenon of violence that is not dangerous to the life and health of the victim in the family, household, labor, and military collective, clarifying the conceptual and categorical apparatus. In the framework of a complex purpose of the study, it is required to determine whether all the types of violence are a crime and whether the fight against this violence is a private or public matter? As part of in-depth cognition of socio-legal reality, criminological, criminal law, criminal procedure, administrative law, socio-cultural, philosophical and other aspects of violence are considered. Methods: historical, comparative-legal, statistical, empirical, and included observation. Conclusions: first, the problems of violence studied in both psychology and law are studied superficially, fragmentally; second, both criminology and the legislator do not clarify, whether beating is a crime or not? Third, the society does not want to put up with a ban on the physical coercion of a predicate rapist to peace. The author attempts to systematize a complex and controversial practice and offers an original interdisciplinary view of the problem through the prism of philosophy, psychology, and cultural studies. The formulated conclusions are problematic and stimulate further scientific discussion
