Abstract
In the article attention is drawn to the need to establish the circumstances indicating the socially dangerous nature of crimes in the family, while focusing on a detailed study of the causes and conditions that contributed to their commission. It is indicated that in the implementation of any targeted action, the subject uses the laws of the objective outside world to achieve a criminal goal in order to further justify his actions, exclude their wrongfulness and his guilt in the consequences. Therefore, determining the subject of research of this article, the authors proceeded from the fact that in the process of investigation it is necessary to establish the existence of a causal relationship, which lies in the preparation, commission and concealment of a crime. When starting to establish a causal link between these phenomena, it should be borne in mind that no action in a criminal event is the consequence of one single isolated operating reason and this is especially evident in the commission of unlawful acts against family members. An illegal result cannot occur in the absence of a causal connection, without the relationship between the actions that make up the method of committing a crime. This circumstance, unfortunately, is missed both during the preliminary and during the judicial investigation. It is known that any person commits certain actions in certain conditions of place and time. The circumstances existing at the time of its action or which received a later change, of course, have an impact on the development of the causal series in one direction or another. Therefore, an unlawful act against a family member is not the only cause of harm to life or health. The purpose of the article was to consider and analyze the causes, conditions, consequences of unlawful actions of the subject included in a single causal chain of committing a crime. As a result of the analytical work of the generalization of practice, the authors concluded that the role and sequence of the indicated actions should be clarified both in the pre-trial and judicial proceedings in the case. At the same time, it is necessary to proceed from the fact that the issue of criminal liability of the subject cannot be resolved on the basis of only causal connection. To do this, it is necessary to establish whether the harm caused is socially dangerous and culpable. It can be taken into account as one of the components of importance for resolving the issue of public danger of crimes committed in the family. For additional arguments, legal prerequisites are investigated, not only the reasons that led to the commission of unlawful acts in the family, but also some methods of committing unlawful acts are listed and analyzed in detail. The authors conclude that the antagonistic relations that have arisen between family members are due to their constant monotonous contact, the need for joint residence of the subjects, and the fulfillment of their duties. Some of the reasons given are confirmed by the analysis of the materials of specific criminal cases, by court sentences.
