Summary/Abstract: Domestic violence is not a phenomenon of the modern age, but rather a new interest of the state to recognize it, provide protection for victims of domestic violence and to fight against it. In the Republic of Serbia, domestic violence was incriminated only in 2002 by amendments to the then Criminal Code, while our legislator introduced family law as well as the institute of domestic violence in 2005 by the Family Law. Domestic violence is a behavior by which one family member threatens the physical and psychological integrity or serenity of another family member. It most often comes in the form of physical, psychological, sexual and economic violence. The forms of domestic violence just mentioned will be the subject of analysis of this paper. In addition, special attention will be paid to victims who are most often exposed to domestic violence - women, children, the elderly and men.
