Summary/Abstract: When studying families, systematic model or approach is particularly important because it examines the family as a system, which is on the one hand part of a larger system, and on the other hand, the same system is observed as a collection of small, mutually conditioned systems. Conflicts and crises in family can cause various disorders, which can even result in a criminal act, such as murder in a family. Although at first sight, these two phenomena seem controversial and opposing, there are more numerous data that testify to this phenomenon. Therefore, it is reasonable to say that family is in crisis, and that there are justified reasons for studying this phenomenon and looking for solution to enhance prevention and protection of its vulnerable members. The goal of research is to point out the existing legislation, previous researches of this problem, its significance and expected improvement after implementing the Law on Prevention of Violence.
