Abstract

Crimes against life and limb are crimes that constitute a violation of the physical and mental integrity of a person, and are classified as crimes of violence. These criminal acts have been subjected to penalty ever since the first written regulations or codes appeared with the aim to preserve and protect life and body as the most important human and social values. Having in mind the consequences of committing crimes against life and limb, it is clear that the primary task of every state is to work towards their suppression. The precondition for the realization of this task is reflected in the exploration of their criminological characteristics in order to create effective prevention measures through the understanding of the causes of this phenomenon and a comprehensive approach.
