Abstract

 This article examines the concept and types of domestic (family) violence within the framework of modern legal and social sciences. Domestic violence is analyzed as a complex and multifaceted phenomenon closely related to human rights, gender equality, and social stability. The study explores various theoretical approaches, including legal, sociological, psychological, and gender perspectives, highlighting their role in understanding the nature and causes of domestic violence. Particular attention is paid to the “power and control” model, which explains violence as a mechanism of domination rather than a simple interpersonal conflict.
