There is a lot of incidents when relationship between victim and offender is not reflected in the records (e.g. 577 cases in year 2011, 781 cases in 2010). It might be related to hidden violence incidents when victim does not want to release facts and number of domestic violence are higher (http://polsis.mk.gov.lv/LoadAtt/file39853.doc) but there is no information how the centre is planning to address this observation.
