ПРЕВЕНЦИЈА КРИМИНАЛИТЕТА - ПОЈАМ И ИСТОРИЈСКИ РАЗВОЈ
CRIME PREVENTION: CONCEPT AND HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT

Summary/Abstract: Exploring the concept of crime prevention, the author of this paper points out that this issue has to be observed in a clear historical context,taking into consideration the past as well as the present growth of general public acceptance of crime prevention. It is also highly important to take into account both former and current theories on crime, legal order and security, given that these three concepts are the key elements for the development of crime prevention and security in a society. The author presents some of the former crime prevention theories, starting from those dating back to the Ancient Times all the way to the latest political and criminal law conceptions (including the “nothing works” hypothesis). The author provides a historical overview of the approaches to restorative justice and points out to the significance of applying restorative justice in penitentiaries and correctional facilities for the purpose of preventing recidivism.
