Summary/Abstract: The article concerns the criminal policy of courts in cases concerning offenses against the family and guardianship in 2008–2018. The study presents the results of the analysis of statistical data illustrating the judicial tendencies of criminal courts in cases of offenses specified in Chapter XXVI of the Penal Code. The text tries to answer the question: did the changes in criminal law that took place in 2015 and 2017 influenced to some extent the jurisprudence on crime against the family and care? In the article, the amendments from these two years were analyzed with particular attention, as one of them was essential for the entire criminal law system in Poland, while the other was extremely important, especially in the context of crimes harming the welfare of the family and care.
