Their main characteristics include: 1) additional, optional character; 2) provision with the help of state coercion; 3) the presence of special grounds for their application, including factual and legal aspects; 4) restriction of the rights and freedoms of the offender; 5) the possibility of application exclusively to adults; 6) appointment in the presence of an immediate threat to the life or health of the victim; 7) urgent nature; 8) no criminal record. Thus, the analysis of the system of restrictive measures provided for by the criminal and administrative legislation of Ukraine allows us to conclude that all of them are aimed at the primary protection of the interests of a person who has suffered from domestic violence. These measures help to convince him of his own safety, security, adapt to future life without the threat of being offended.
