The research encompassed 368 cases of the criminal offence rape. Data were gathered through insight into police records from ali police districts in the Republic of Croatia by means of a questionnaire with 98 variables. Hi-quadrate analysis test was used for interpretation of the obtained results. The set hypothesis was confirmed and the obtained results are applicable in police practice.
