She stressed that the prevention of domestic crimes remains one of the main tasks of the internal affairs bodies, and all legislative measures are being taken to influence family rowdies and aggressors."The main cause of domestic conflicts remains drunkenness.

In ten months of this year, Channel 102 in Astana received 8,525 appeals from citizens on the facts of aggression in families on domestic grounds. This growth is due to various problems.
