Summary/Abstract: Violent crime is one of the oldest forms of criminality and has always been present in society. When all crime manifestations are considered, violent crime provokes the strongest reaction and the strongest condemnation of society, because it endangers human life as the most important human and social value, as well as property or other values and goods of the victim or society. In modern society, it is present all around us: in the family, school, work, street, games and various other events. Unlike the other forms of criminality, In this form of crime, the more significant perpetrator's tendency toward torture, as well as his insolence and ruthlessness in forcing another to suffer such behaviour come to the fore. The violent crime consequences can be extremely destructive and are reflected on the individual in the form of psychological, social and sexual problems, but also on his immediate environment and society as a whole through the deterioration of quality of life. That is why the suppression of violent crime is one of the primary tasks of every state, and the precondition for the realization of this task is to understand its etiological aspects in order to create effective prevention measures. The aim of this paper is to point out the importance of creating preventive measures based on these factors, as well as the destructiveness of the consequences arising from this form of crime, through the analysis and systematization of knowledge regarding the causes of violent crime.
