The paper focuses on how the legal process works for slaves who are subject to property law. In this study, factors such as violence, accusations of violence, and the internalization and legitimization of violence in Crimean society between 1675 and 1700 have been examined through a study of the experience of slaves. It will be evaluated separately whether the raiding -one of the important sources of livelihoods for the Crimean Tatars- had an impact on violent events in the community life. In particular, physical violence against the prisoners will be discussed, and then the status of slaves exposed to violence in the Crimean qadi registers will be evaluated.
