Summary/Abstract: Domestic violence as an act of expressing power and control over the victim within the family, in recent years has acquired the characteristics of a model of behavior, and as such is a very current subject of doctrinal analysis, but also behavior whose suppression is particularly interested in practice. In general, domestic violence as a contemporary social phenomenon has taken on much more significant proportions in society and has aroused far more significant public attention than other crimes against marriage and the family. When it comes to Serbia, there is a clear need to prevent domestic violence. Namely, the problem is very widespread and deeply rooted in the tradition of society, so it is primarily necessary to stabilize and build society on new values of non-violence. Bearing in mind the topic, the paper deals with issues – what is domestic violence, who is the victim and who is the perpetrator of the crime of domestic violence, what is the purpose of the Law on Prevention of Domestic Violence and other current legal solutions, to identify available protection measures and the procedures for ensuring their implementation.
