Slovakia crime statistics and trends

Overview

Reports from the Slovak Republic’s Prosecutor General regarding 2025 crime statistics reveal diverging trends in domestic and property-related offenses.

Data indicates an increase in domestic violence, specifically regarding the crime of abusing a close or dependent person. Prosecutions for this crime rose by 11.32 percent from 2024 to 2025, with alcohol and addictive substances identified as a factor in 35.59 percent of criminal prosecutions.

In contrast, juvenile property crimes saw a 39 percent decrease, a shift attributed to legislative amendments that raised the threshold for criminal liability for small damages. However, substance-related offenses have trended upward; while alcohol-related crimes remained stable, the number of offenders under the influence of drugs rose by 59.6 percent compared to 2024.
