Age of Perpetrators as a Factor of Phenomenology of the Murder Rate in Sarajevo Canton

Summary/Abstract: Human life and bodily integrity, according to a unique understanding, represent the greatest value of modern society, which is protected by international and domestic laws. Despite the development of society, murder and mutual destruction is a negative phenomenon that characterizes the human population regardless of race, gender, age, nation, religion or social order. In order to understand this negative phenomenon that is inherent in people, it is necessary to investigate and view the phenomenon through the prism of various factors, among which the age of the perpetrator is very significant. Therefore, the main goal of this research is to determine the differences in the phenomenology of murders in the Sarajevo Canton with regard to the age of the perpetrators. Final verdicts, ie educational measures, of the Municipal and Cantonal Court in Sarajevo were used against the perpetrators of the crimes of murder, manslaughter and for the aforementioned attempted crimes, within a time period of 2005-2015., as a sample for the realization of this research. The research covered 79 murderers which were legally sanctioned before the aforementioned courts within the observed time period. The data collected by the analysis of court judgments were loaded into the statistical computer program SPSS with the aim of further statistical processing. Due to the lack of necessary data in one of the observed variables, the category "unknown" was formed, which is a limitation of this research.Regardless of the limitation, the results of the research indicated the existence of differences in the phenomenology of murders in the Sarajevo Canton depending on the age of the perpetrators. This primarily refers to the frequency of murders, the form of murders, the sex of the perpetrator, the municipality and the place where the murder was committed. The results obtained by the research will enable a better understanding of certain phenomenological features of the murders in the Sarajevo Canton,which should help the competent institutions in preventing and combating this negative phenomenon, as well as more effective detection of perpetrators. In addition, the research results will enrich the scientific fund and facilitate the interpretation of murder in future research.
