Sažetak
Domestic violence includes physical, mental/emotional, financial or sexual abuse, or control or coercive behavior, towards a current/former intimate partner or adult family member. Each form of domestic violence creates interrelated forms of violence, and the "abuse cycle" itself often continues in children exposed to violence in their adult relationships, and ultimately to the care of the elderly and therefore it is necessary to work continuously on the prevention of domestic violence as well as to identify effective models of prevention and treatment of victims and perpetrators and implement them in practice. In order for prevention and treatment to be effective, cooperation between the health sector, social services, the education system, the police, the judiciary system and also the recognition of such behavior as unacceptable at the level of the entire community and at the national level is needed. Some of the guidelines for prevention of domestic violence are presented in this article.
