Summary/Abstract: The subject of paper is protection and assistance to elderly persons in case of violence in institutions for their accommodation, care and protection. This topic has so far been unsuficiently researched in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the reasons for this are the nominally small number of elderly people placed in these institutions and the neglect of the elderly as victims of violence in general. The paper also analyzes and develops the systems of care for elderly people in the countries of Europe and the world, and points to the existing shortcomings and fears in the process of providing protection to victims of violence. The author tries to illuminate this social deviation from the scientific side and suggests the appropriate de lege solution.
