Summary/Abstract: This study is devoted to the analysis of the statistical data of the National Police Headquarters for 2010–2020 regarding suicide attacks committed by children in Poland. Two research methods were used in the study. The leading method was the analysis of statistical data. The method of analyzing selected literature on the subject was also used. The aim was, above all, to attempt to characterize the dynamics of the phenomenon of suicide attacks among children in Poland in 2010–2020 in the light of police statistical data. The considerations were based on the analysis of data on age groups, the reasons for the suicide attacks in the form of school problems and the category referred to as “information about learning / work – student”. These data were analyzed in terms of the number of non-fatal suicide attacks and those in which they occurred.
