Summary/Abstract: The Act on the Prevention of Violence at Sports Events, which regulates the behaviour of participants in sports events, contains numerous novelties related to this form of criminal offences. Large sports events are frequently tarnished by serious violence, such as property damage and intentionally harmful physical assaults with occasional fatal consequences, which call for an adequate response from the state authorities responsible for this form of criminal behaviour. This paper discusses the most relevant legal provisions related to violence in sports, and analyzes certain disputable issues and the existing case law, with specific reference to particular problems arising in judicial practice.
