The authors discussed the phenomenon of domestic violence based on the literature review and statistical data. Some theoretical issues related to minor offenders were presented. The authors indicated typical crimes which could be associated with domestic violence, presented and analysed statistical data to represent the phenomenon. Attention was also paid to the difficulties encountered by the authors during the analysis of the data, and the interpretation challenges. The authors concluded that the reasons behind each crime, as well as the educational function of particular punishment should be considered. Due to the changes in the system of police statistics introduced in 2012 and the lack of precise nomenclature it is being difficult to interpret available statistical data.
