Research Question (RQ): What was the situation of crime in Slovenia in 2020?
Purpose: Crime is a very harmful activity in society. The purpose and goal of the research is to review the situation in this area and make suggestions for improvement.

Organization: The results are important for the police, the courts, and the educational system.
Society: Raising awareness of the issue throughout society is important. Only in this way we can improve the situation.
Originality: The research is important for increasing security at the level of the whole society.
Limitations/further research: Only data from 2020 was used. An in-depth quantitative and qualitative analysis is needed.
