Znęcanie się fizyczne lub psychiczne w świetle art. 207 Kodeksu karnego
Physical or mental abuse under Art. 207 of the Criminal Code

Summary/Abstract: This article is primarily intended to discuss the features defining the causative activity of the offence of abuse referred to in Art. 207 of the Criminal Code. Mistreatment can take the form of physical or mental abuse. Physical abuse involves inflicting physical suffering, e.g. beating, kicking, choking, starving the victim. Mental abuse consists of mental tormenting and arousing a sense of danger in the victim, e.g. by humiliating or frightening. Very often there are situations when both of these forms occur simultaneously. Mistreatment means an action or omission that is deliberately inflicting physical pain or mental suffering. As a rule, these are repetitive behaviours, but it is not excluded that the one-off behaviour of the perpetrator may be considered mistreatment. Then the one-time behaviour should be intense, and the symptoms should be extended over time.
