Annotation: the article presents the author’s criminological definition of “domestic crime” through defending the thesis that family and domestic relationship as any other type of social interaction, is able to determine criminal behavior. The family, as the traditional socio-cultural institution has a moral component, the content of which may run contrary to modern legal notions of legitimate behavior. The question of how legitimate the state intervention in the established family domestic order would be, though it still remains debatable. However, it is expected that the family should be the object of criminological study not so much as the environment in which one can implement one’s criminal intents, but rather as a sphere of social relations that generate the causes and conditions of deviant behavior subject to scientific scrutiny. Otherwise, the allocation of criminofamilistics as an independent branch of criminology seems far from being obvious.

Keywords: family domestic crime, domestic violence, criminofamilistica, types of crime, crime prevention, criminological policy.
