SOME MISDEMEANOR LAW ASPECTS OF GUN CONTROL IN SERBIA

Summary/Abstract: Mass murders in Serbia in 2023 caused ‘tectonic’ disturbances in Serbian society. One of the issues that has been raised and is still being resolved is gun control. In the paper, the authors explore only one segment of gun control, namely the misdemeanor law aspect. The research is set in the timeframe from 2018 to 2023 and refers to the territory of the entire country of Serbia. For the purposes of the research, data from the Ministry of Interior of Republice of Serbia and the Misdemeanor Courts in Serbia were used. With the help of the obtained data and the use of methods of content analysis, statistical methods and normative methods, the authors drew certain conclusions. Misdemeanors in tehe area of weapons and ammunition in the observed period recorded an increase in nominal numbers and by the misdemeanors’ rate. Cold weapons are the item that is found in most cases, while firearms are in second place. However, some questions remained open, such as how to reconcile certain opposites, such as the right to personal security, on the one hand, and the maintenance of public safety and order in society, on the other hand? The authors believe that in the area of gun control, prevention should be implemented by public authorities, especially the police.
