ALCOHOL intoxication . The man began to find fault with his wife, behave aggressively towards her and push her. This behavior was repeated many times throughout the year.
Both victims turned to the police for help.
“In the first month of
2024 , 44 family brawlers were brought to administrative responsibility, for the entire 2023 - 798. There are 530 citizens on the preventive register of the Baranovichi City Department of Internal Affairs,” said Deputy
HEAD of the City Department of Internal Affairs Igor Erokhin.
The police noted that domestic violence has many names - family, domestic, partner. What unites
it is that violence occurs between people in close relationships. In the vast majority of cases, these are current and former spouses. Violence deforms the personality of the victim; she stops reacting to the situation the way a prosperous person would react.
