As practice shows, crimes committed during emerging family quarrels and conflicts often surpass premeditated, well-prepared criminal acts in their cruelty and the severity of their consequences.

As practice shows, crimes committed during emerging family quarrels and conflicts often surpass premeditated, well-prepared criminal acts in their cruelty and the severity of their consequences. Every third murder and every fourth case of intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm occur within the sphere of family and domestic relations.

Practically one in five deaths from external causes is due to accidental alcohol poisoning. In contrast, one in eight deaths is related to vehicles.

Drunkenness is one of the most negative social phenomena in society, leading to family distress, causing irreparable harm to the institution of the family, hindering the full development of minors, negatively affecting the crime situation, and in some cases leading to tragic consequences.

In just 7 months of 2020, 3 crimes were committed in the Lepel district (2019 – 6): Article 147 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus (intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm) – 1; Article 154 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus (torture) – 1; Article 153 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus (intentional infliction of light bodily harm) – 1.

Family distress cannot be hidden! Some people simply try not to notice what does not directly concern them.
