Summary/Abstract: In the presented study, the author characterises the specifics of investigating and proving domestic violence, or crimes associated with it. The study is processed in connection with implementation of the project APVV-19-0090 “Legal methodology for the era of legal pluralism”. The content of the study reflects on the clear need to specify the individual elements that relate to the given topic. The author’s primary goal is to manifestly and clearly interpret the specifics of investigating and proving domestic violence and the most common crimes associated with it. The results of the study are also processed through the use of scholarly methods, specifically, a search of professional literature, case law, scientific outputs, in addition to an analysis of the scholarly knowledge gained from theoretical but also applied practice, synthesis, observation, induction, deduction, and methods of abstraction and generalisation. For verifying the hypotheses, guided interviews and the evaluation of a short questionnaire on the perception of signs and forms of domestic violence by selected persons were also used. The study has not been published elsewhere
