LAW ON OFFENSES AGAINST PUBLIC ORDER AND PEACE OF THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA CURRENT CONSIDERATIONS

Summary/Abstract: Although in terms of the level of social danger, compared to criminal acts, they represent a lower risk, offenses against public order and peace are a representative indicator of community safety, and thus the quality of life. Although the statistical indicators do not indicate a significant growth of them during the previous years in the Republic of Croatia, they should always be taken with a certain degree of reserve when describing a situation in research, but also in a realistic view. This is especially the case when you have an existing law that was passed more than 40 years ago. And at the same time, numerous changes and achievements took root in the community, which the current law did not include when it was passed, which is understandable. If, for example, numerous insults and disparagements on networks and the Internet entered the punishable zone and were punished, what would those who refer to statistics and assess the situation as favorable say? The paper provides an overview of current trends in the Law on offenses against public order and peace of the Republic of Croatia, deals with the issue of defining the term public place, provides an overview of indicators on the trend in the number of offenses against public order and peace, and own proposals for changes, additions or proposals for adoption of the new law.
