Abstract
By collecting and processing official data of the Ministry of the Interior and the National Bureau of Statistics in the period 2009-2020 in relation to criminal offences and misdemeanours related to prostitution, certain findings were obtained that indicate the specifics and trends of prostitution in the Republic of Croatia (i.e. the cases that are not in the dark figure sphere, which according to some findings is very pronounced in this area). The analysis of the collected data identifies and describes persons who commit crimes and misdemeanours related to prostitution, persons harmed by these actions as well as their territorial distribution and other relevant specifics of the phenomenon of prostitution in Croatia. As a significant number of findings and conclusions coincide with those from the research conducted as part of the author's doctoral dissertation, it is often referred to it within this paper for additional data.
