| Abstract | In connection with the recent legislative changes, which in particular introduced the institution of restrictive measures, there was a need for scientific research on some issues of control over the implementation of such measures. It should also be noted that the subjects of control over the implementation of restrictive measures against persons who committed domestic violence have been recently outlined at the legislative level, therefore this subject remains open to scientific discussions. Regarding the regulatory and legal regulation of such control, it was not the subject of a thorough study. In view of the above, the content and significance of restrictive measures against persons convicted of domestic violence were considered, as well as a systematic review of the rules for monitoring the implementation of such measures and its link with the relevant norms of other legislative acts. The article prepared by the author is an overview. On the basis of consideration of certain normative and legal acts, problems were found in the legal regulation of control exercised by the probation and commanding units of the military units (in relation to convicts – servicemen) for the enforcement of restrictive measures against those who committed domestic violence. These problems complicate the effective control by the relevant actors, since the lack of agreed norms does not allow to fully comply with the execution of a court order regarding a restrictive measure. Thus, purpose of the article – to identify the regulatory shortcomings in the regulation of the issue of monitoring the implementation of restrictive measures against persons who committed domestic violence and developing proposals for their elimination. The results of the study formulated the conclusions about the existence of certain shortcomings of the current legislation and made suggestions on the need to bring certain regulations in line with the changes. In order to resolve identified problems and inconsistencies it is considered necessary to introduce appropriate amendments to the laws that regulate the mechanism for monitoring the implementation of restrictive measures against those who committed domestic violence. |
