Abstract:The “family member” is a key element in judging the crime of maltreatment. Based on the analysis of what is a family and focusing on the traditional and non-traditional types of family in today’s society, the meaning of family member is totally influenced by the change of family structure and its new forms. It is important to concern the maltreatment which is happened in the non-traditional family. The new definition of family member in the crime of maltreatment is the persons who are living together based on the relationship of marriage, blood relative and support or the tie with non-marriage but co-habitation.
