Efficiency of Administrative Proceedings in the Field of Offenses in Slovakia

Offenses represent unlawful actions and undesirable antisocial behavior. The issue of efficiency in administrative proceedings regarding offences has come to the forefront in Slovakia due to an amendment to the Criminal Code, effective as of 6 August 2024. The efficiency of administrative proceedings is influenced by various factors, primarily the quality of offence investigation, the professional competence of state employees, and staff number. This study quantitatively and qualitatively examines these factors using data from two district offices in the years 2021–2023. The results confirm the validity and justification of our assumptions.
