Abstract

In the paper considerations are presented on the meaning of the victim in relation to the perpetrator against the background of widely understood criminal law. At the same time, in his deductions, the Author also pays attention to the overall position of the passive and the active subject of the crime, considering current legal status. In this context also the lack of sufficient normative basis, which could provide an impulse to the effective realization of legal instruments which are supposed to serve to a injured person is pointed out.
