Abstract

The article analyzes the effectiveness of state policy in overcoming and counteraction domestic violence on the example of the countries of UKRAINE AND ISRAEL. The normative-legal base of protection against domestic violence in Ukraine and Israel has been studied, the structure of the state apparatus of the mentioned countries, which provide overcoming and counteraction to domestic violence, has been considered. The research methodology is based on the principle of priority of universal values. As part of the toolkit of the proposed work used synthesis, comparison, systematization of data for the theoretical justification of the problem mentioned by researchers. An analysis of the current model of protecting children from violence in Israel has led to the conclusion that the child is the focus of society. Meeting child needs and maintaining child mental and physical health are above the interests of the family as a whole. In order to achieve high results in such a policy, the state exercises close control over the lives of the family and parents separately, paying special attention to single-parent families. After analyzing the experience of public policy in overcoming and countering domestic violence, the researchers concluded that in Israel, public policy measures affect all segments of the population and provide for almost all cases of physical and psychological oppression of family members that may occur. This system has a clearly subordinated hierarchy and a well-developed network of departments that not only do their job, but also interact to prevent and overcome the negative consequences of domestic violence. The authors emphasize that the example of work to prevent domestic violence in Israel is characterized by its systemic nature, human orientation and a high degree of sociality. It can be used as a basis for the organization of relevant institutions in Ukraine, which can effectively study and adopt, usually adapting to their own circumstances and goals. Researchers see prospects for further research in the analysis of the world's innovative methods of socio-psychological therapy for the prevention and overcoming of domestic violence, as well as the experience of state institutions of socially developed countries that provide the main directions of this policy. У статті проаналізовано ефективність держаної політики у сфері подолання та протидії насильству в сім’ї на прикладі країн України та Ізраїлю. Досліджено нормативно – правову базу захисту від насильства в сім’ї в Україні та Ізраїлі, розглянуто устрій установ державного апарату зазначених країн, що забезпечують подолання та протидію насиллю в сім’ї. В основу методології дослідження покладено принцип пріоритету загальнолюдських цінностей. У складі інструментарію запропонованої статті застосовано синтез, порівняння, систематизація даних для теоретичного обґрунтування зазначеної дослідниками проблеми. Автори дійшли висновку, що приклад роботи по запобіганню і профілактиці сімейного насильства в Ізраїлі відрізняється своєю системністю, орієнтованістю на людину і високою мірою соціальності. Він може бути покладений за основу організації відповідних установ в Україні, яка може ефективно вивчити і перейняти, звичайно адаптувавши під власні обставини і цілі.
