Sažetak
During the pandemic, the biggest focus was on preserving the health system, and due to its overload, individuals in need of treatment were denied adequate health care. The consequences of certain measures taken to prevent the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus are visible through the restriction of physical and social contacts, rising unemployment, deprivation of adequate health care. In families with disturbed family relationships, there is a certain increased risk of violence against women, but also violence against other vulnerable family members such as children, the elderly or people with disabilities. The question of whether there has been a change in the trend of domestic violence in Croatia during 2020 has arisen. From the analysed data of misdemeanors of domestic violence and the criminal offense of domestic violence in 2020, a decrease in the number of victims of total punishable offenses of domestic violence was recorded. However, if all criminal offenses that are most often committed with violent behaviour in the family or between close persons are taken into account, in 2020 an increase in criminal offenses was recorded.
