Abstract
This paper describes the situation and problems in the implementation of education of police officers in the area of domestic violence in Croatia. Cause and manner of implementation of development research is presented, which aims to detect problems and improve the quality of existing programs of specialization in the field of domestic violence, the possibilities and modalities of revising the existing and developing new training programs. The research results will be used as the
basis for the implementation of projects to help police officers in better understanding of the family dynamics within the “police families”, establishing quality relationships and bringing them in line
with the complexity of police work.
In the second stage of the research, which will be implemented
in May 2015, a survey of the same police officers will be carried out again, to determine the success of realized education, through the identification of the application of acquired knowledge and
skills, that is, the quality of police action in the prevention, protection and support to the victims of domestic violence and in helping offenders to change their behaviour.
