This article provides an in-depth analysis of the organizational and legal mechanisms of the bodies and institutions implementing the prevention of domestic violence in the Republic of Uzbekistan. Recent legislative reforms, particularly the criminalization of domestic violence as a separate criminal offense, are highly acknowledged, while systemic gaps in law enforcement practice are identified. Based on empirical data, the study reveals such problems as coercing victims into forced reconciliation , weak interagency information exchange , and an increase in female criminality due to economic and legal vulnerability. To address these issues, through a comparative study of the advanced experiences of developed countries such as the UK, Spain, and the US (the MARAC system, specialized courts, electronic monitoring bracelets) , scientifically grounded proposals have been developed to improve national legislation and preventive practices.
