“KAKVI RODITELJI - TAKVA DJECA”: SISTEMATSI PREGLED MEĐUGENERACIJSKE TRANSMISIJE KRIMINALNOG I ANTISOCIJALNOG PONAŠANJA

Author(s): Mirza Buljubašić / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian Issue: 1-2/2019

Reason for writing and research problem(s): Criminological research in the field of intergenerational (dis)continuity has shown that children whose parents externalize their criminal or antisocial behavior have a greater chance to show the same behavior in childhood and/or in later phases of development. Intergenerational criminology is searching for answers to replication or transmission (or lack thereof) of antisocial and criminal behavior through generations - from the parental to next-generation. Although a large fund of knowledge exists, there is lack of literature on intergenerational criminology in the Balkans, especially in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Aims of the paper (scientific and/or social): The aim of this paper is to fill the gap in the Criminological literature in the Balkans, but also to systematically describe current research, and to explain the theoretical mechanisms of intergenerational transmission (and empirical verifications thereof).Methodology/Design: Content analysis of the relevant literature in the field of intergenerational criminology is a method of choice. The relevant literature for analysis was selected from the bibliography of the meta-analysis of intergenerational transmission of criminal behavior (Besemer et al., 2017b), then searched online, retrieved and analysed. After the analysis, the same steps have been repeated. Prior to the reading of selected literature, an abstract, introduction and/or a conclusion was analysed to determine whether the publication refers to the intergenerational transmission of criminal and antisocial behavior. Only literature that contained the terms: intergenerational transmission, continuity, family, children, risk factors and resilience in the title or keywords or synopsis of the publications (i.e. manual search and selection) was selected for the analysis. Moreover, online databases and internet (meta) search engines (e.g. Google Scholar, Web of Science) were used to search for (additional) literature that was not available in the bibliography of the analyzed articles. Research strategy used by Besemeret al. (2017b) was employed, in particular keywords: intergeneration* ili cross generation*ili multi-generation* ili generation* ili transmiss* ili continuity i parent* ili father* ili mother* ili child* ili offspring* ili son* ili daughter* i crim* ili delinquent*ili convict* ili antisocial* ili offend* ili violent* ili aggress* (ie automatically generated search). Only relevant papers with metrics of at least 10 citations, determined with i 10-index, were selected. Certainly, there are numerous papers that could have been included but are not mentioned anywhere because of the limited scope of this paper.

POLICING REPEAT AND HIGH-RISK FAMILY VIOLENCE: A COORDINATED MODEL IN VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA

Author(s): Gemma Hamilton / Language(s): English Issue: 5-6/2018

This study qualitatively evaluated ‘Alexis – Family Violence Response Model’— a joint police-social services approach to family violence in the State of Victoria (Australia). Interviews were conducted with 17 stakeholders (7 police members and 10 community service providers) to examine how the model reduced recidivist family violence and how it differed from other policing approaches to family violence. Five key themes were extracted from the data via thematic analysis: (i) collaboration between police, an embedded family violence worker and other agencies; (ii) increased police accountability; (iii) the adoption of a proactive major crime approach; (iv) emphasis on professional development; and (v) the allocation of dedicated time and resources. Implications for future policy development are discussed, with the findings highlighting promising practices for policing high-risk and recidivist family violence.

STAVOVI OSUĐENIKA O USLOVIMA ŽIVOTA U ZATVORSKIM USTANOVAMA

Author(s): Sanja Radetić Lovrić,Biljana Mirković,Dejan Matijević / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian Issue: 5/2017

Inspiration to write the paper and the issue addressed by the paper: The attitudes of the convicts towards the living conditions in prisons determine the integrity of a person into the prison system, and may influence the efficiency of criminal sanctions, success of a treatment, resocialization and reintegration of the convicts. The main issue of the paper is to examine the attitudes and opinions of the convicts towards the degree of satisfaction with living conditions in prisons. Paper goal: The goal of this paper is to find out to what extent the basic, legally prescribed living conditions in prisons are met from the point of view of the convicts themselves, and to gain an insight into the possibilities of improving the program of treatment and respect of the human rights. Methodology: The Questionnaire referring to the satisfaction with basic living conditions in prisons – USZB, was created for the purpose of this survey, in order to examine the attitudes of the convicts regarding the hygienic and nutritional conditions, respect for the integrity of a personality, and the establishment of social relations and conventional activities. The scale contains 9 statements, and its internal consistency reliability is .85. The survey has been conducted on 140 male convicts, an average age of 37.66. Survey restraints: The created Questionnaire examines only attitudes towards the basic living conditions in prisons, and it should be modified by extending it to other relevant life aspects within the prison system and then compare them to the type of the committed crime and specific dimensions of a convict’s personality. The survey has been performed on a relevant sample. Results/General conclusion: According to the results of the survey, between 44.3%and 90% of the convicts is satisfied with the living conditions in prisons, taken that the smallest percentage of respondents is satisfied with the way the contact with the outside world is achieved and the nutritional conditions, while the highest percentage of respondents is satisfied with the interpersonal relations with other convicts and the prison staff. There was no difference in the satisfaction with living conditions in prison considering the age of the convicts or the length of the pronounced and served criminal sanction.

Defending probation: Beyond privatisation and security

Author(s): Wendy Fitzgibbon,John Lea / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2014

The current debate about the privatisation of probation in the UK has tended to set up a false dichotomy between state and private that diverts attention from the fact that privatisation as part of a ‘rehabilitation revolution’ intends, in fact, to continue the domination of the risk management approach. What is emerging is a public– private combination of increasingly centralised public sector probation and the private ‘security-industrial complex’ of global security corporations. An important consequence of this process is the annihilation of both residual elements of voluntary sector and community work within probation itself and of the smaller private charities and third sector organisations that have long collaborated with probation in traditional desistance work. This complex dynamic is a reflection of some of the key internal inconsistencies of neoliberalism as a political strategy.

‘The customer is always right’? Consumerism and the probation service

Author(s): Rebecca Crook,Dave Wood / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2014

The probation service of England and Wales has faced ongoing change to its structures and challenge to its theory and value base throughout its history. Recent years have seen an acceleration in the scope of this change with sizable budget cuts alongside the threat of competition and subsequent privitisation of probation services. This article explores whether the more fundamental but subtle challenge to practice may yet come not from explicit governmental policy, but the underlying consumerist social structures at play that operate not only in governance, but also in the mindset of the public, practitioners and probationers alike.

Are Former Male Inmates Excluded from Social Life?

Author(s): Gabriel Ţica,Maria Roth / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2012

Based on Becker’s conceptualization of deviance, the phenomena of labeling and stigmatization of people who commit antisocial acts will result in their social marginalization and exclusion, which may result in relapse into criminal behavior. By the means of qualitative research, this paper looks at different forms of social exclusion, as possible catalysts of male recidivism in Romania. Turning away from the perspective that the offender alone is responsible for the acts he committed and for his own rehabilitation, the authors demonstrate that social exclusion was experienced by recidivists in different ways, favouring the perpetration of antisocial acts. The identified spheres of social exclusion that mainly need to be targeted by social policies and social assistance are: employment, housing, family relationships and social networks.

Judicial rehabilitation in France: Helping with the desisting process and acknowledging achieved desistance

Author(s): Martine Herzog-Evans / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2011

Shadd Maruna, in his masterpiece, Making Good (Maruna, 2001, 2011) advocates the creation of an institutionalized redemption ritual which would reinforce the offender's own certitude that he or she has indeed desisted successfully, and convince the community and society itself, that he/she has now become a good citizen. Such a ritual , which would preferably be judicial, exists in the French legal system, under the name of Judicial Rehabilitation. However, prior to fully acknowledging achieved desistance, the French legal systems aims at helping with the desistance process through a host of procedures that expunge all or part of criminal records. In this jurisdiction, criminal records are seen as constituting obstacles to employment and thus, as being counterproductive. Drawing on legal methodology, this article will first explain the penological grounds of criminal records, of expunging techniques and lastly, of judicial rehabilitation.

Conviction Records in Spain: Obstacles to Reintegration of Offenders?

Author(s): Elena Larrauri / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2011

This paper argues that conviction records pose a serious obstacle for the reintegration of offenders, especially in the labor market. It argues that this reintegration will be different in countries where publicity of conviction records is freely available, where employers are required to carry out regular checks before hiring their employees, and where conviction records never get expunged. The first part of the paper presents the regulation of conviction records in Spain, regarding these three matters. The paper then moves on to offer some reflections on how the erasure of spent conviction records could be strengthened and how this might aid the desistance process.

Judicial Rehabilitation in the Netherlands: Balancing between safety and privacy

Author(s): Miranda Boone / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2011

This paper is part of a special edition on Judicial Rehabilitation, a topic that derived from Maruna’s work on rehabilitation and rehabilitation rituals. It addresses the possibility of such rituals in the Netherlands. It describes which data concerning criminal convictions can be stored, how long they may be preserved and which persons and organisations can get access to the criminal records. It also pays attention to the jobs and position for which a conduct certificate is needed and the conditions under which it can be issued. Conclusion of this analysis is that the stricter regulations concerning criminal records, the increase of jobs a conduct certificate is needed for and the stricter conditions under which it is issued, hinder the serious efforts that are made in prison and probation to reduce recidivism.

Criminal Records and Rehabilitation in Australia

Author(s): Bronwyn Naylor / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2011

Resettlement of former offenders and their ongoing desistance from further offending should be a priority for any community, but in many countries criminal records are increasingly accessed in employment and other decision making. The criminal record then becomes an indelible brand, undermining rehabilitation and making reoffending more likely. Common law-based countries such as the UK and Australia demonstrate this phenomenon more clearly than some mainland European countries, and political and cultural factors are clearly relevant. This paper addresses the scope in Australia for rehabilitation processes that might contribute to the desistance process.

Judicial Rehabilitation and the ‘Clean Bill of Health’ in Criminal Justice

Author(s): Shadd Maruna / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2011

Drawing on an important survey of European and Australian policies toward ‘judicial rehabilitation,’ this article makes the following arguments. First, the rehabilitation movement should return to the origins of the word ‘rehabilitation’ and focus at least as much on efforts to remove and relieve ex-prisoner stigma as on treatment and reform efforts. There will be no ‘rehabilitation revolution’ without this. Second, these efforts should involve active, not passive redemption. Rehabilitation processes that require almost a decade or more of ‘crime-free’ behaviour before forgiving an individual for his or her crimes are just and fair, but they miss the point of rehabilitation. Policies should encourage, support and facilitate good behaviour and not just reward it in retrospect. Third, rehabilitation should not just be done, but be ‘seen to be done,’ ideally in a ritualised format. This sends an important message to the individual and wider society. Finally, I argue that it may be better to forgive than forget past crimes. That is, rather than burying past crimes as if they never happened, states should instead acknowledge and formally recognise that people can change, that good people can do bad things, and that all individuals should be able to move on from past convictions.

Tragom Rikarda Vikerta, posljednjega međuratnog upravitelja zagrebačke policije

Author(s): Mario Stipančević / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 1/2021

Rikard Vikert (1889–1941) was the last chief of the Zagreb police before the beginning of World War II in this region. He remained at this post only for a short time. Despite this, immediately after the establishment of the Independent State of Croatia, he was declared one of the most wanted persons of the new regime. The reasons for this were related to his earlier policing activities, especially his performance as the head of the Sarajevo police (1935–1940), when he was responsible for the cruel treatment of political dissidents of the old Yugoslav regime.He was trained to perform police duties as early as the time of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, acting as part of the armed forces, i.e. the gendarmerie, immediately after the establishment of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. He was well-accepted in centralist circles because he voluntarily left the Austro-Hungarian army and joined the Serbian army at the very beginning of the Great War. In this way, he gained the trust of Belgrade’s political elites, which found him suitable for larger police tasks, due to the fact he was an educated officer. From 1923, he was employed by the Ministry of the Interior, and climbed the administrative ladder within the police apparatus. He experienced a professional zenith when he became the chief of the Zagreb police, where he tried to oppose the increasingly strong attempts of members of the Ustasha and communist movements to break the old order. After the entry of German forces into Yugoslavia and the proclamation of the puppet Independent State of Croatia, he and his associates fled Zagreb, trying to find refuge in Sarajevo. There, at the end of April 1941, he committed suicide while resisting an attempt of the Ustasha police to apprehend him.

ТHEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS AND IDENTIFICATION OF GENERAL COMPETENCES OF COUNSELORS IN PENAL INSTITUTIONS

Author(s): Gordana Dukić / Language(s): English Issue: 39-40/2017

General competencies are a dynamic combination of knowledge, understanding, skills, abilities, attitudes and values that are necessary for personal achievement and development. They are typical of every person regardless of their scope of work. They develop during the period of formal education and represent the basis for further learning and development as an integral part of lifelong learning. Counselors in penal institutions have already formed attitudes and opinions on general competencies. Counselors consider systemic competencies (ability to adapt to new situations, learning ability, ability for practical application of knowledge, ability for persistence when achieving highest quality of work and creativity) to have a slight advantage over interpersonal, instrumental and general specific competencies and to represent a fine basis for further learning and development. Owing to the complexity of competencies and the complex process of identification, testing and comparison of competencies as to the fact that counselors value systemic ones more, which are known to be more complex, it is advisable to check these results on a larger sample and to open a qualitative discussion on counselors’ competencies in penal institutions within the context of lifelong learning.

TEORIJSKE OSNOVE I IDENTIFIKACIJA OPŠTIH KOMPETENCIJA VASPITAČA U PENALNIM USTANOVAMA

Author(s): Gordana Dukić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 39-40/2017

Opšte kompetencije su dinamična kombinacija znanja, razumijevanja, vještina, sposobnosti, stavova i vrijednosti neophodnih za lično ostvarenje i razvoj. Svojstvene su svakom čovjeku, bez obzira na područje njegovog djelovanja. Razvijaju se tokom formalnog obrazovanja i predstavljaju temelj za dalje učenje i razvoj kao integralni dio cjeloživotnog učenja. Vaspitači u penalnim ustanovama imaju izgrađene stavove i mišljenje o opštim kompetencijama. Prema procjenama vaspitača sistemske (sposobnost za prilagođavanje novim situacijama, sposobnost za učenje, sposobnost primjene znanja u praksi, sposobnost istrajavanja na ostvarivanju najviših kvaliteta u radu i kreativnost), su u blagoj prednosti u odnosu na interpersonalne, instrumentalne i specifične opšte i predstavljaju dobru osnovu za dalje učenje i razvoj. Zbog kompleksnosti kompetencija i složenog procesa identifikacije, mjerenja i poređenja kao i činjenice da vaspitači više procijenjuju sistemske, za koje znamo da su složenije, bilo bi poželjno ove rezultate provjeriti na većem uzorku, ali i otvaranjem kvalitativne rasprave o kompetencijama vaspitača u penalnim ustanovama u kontekstu cjeloživotnog učenja.

ORGANIZOVANI KRIMINALITET KAO PREDMET NAUČNOG ISTRAŽIVANJA

Author(s): Mile Šikman / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 31/2012

Organizovani kriminalitet, kao kriminalni fenomen definitivno je i predmet naučnog istraživanja. Mnoge nauke bave se istraživanjem problema organizovanog kriminaliteta. Tako, kriminologija proučava organizovani kriminalitet sa aspekta njegove etiologije i fenomenologije (statike, dinamike i tipologije), krivičnopravne nauke sa gledišta krivičnih inkriminacija ponašanja i drugih delatnosti koje čine organizovani kriminalitet (npr. organizovanje kriminalne grupe), kao i procesnim aspektima suzbijanja organizovanog kriminaliteta. Kriminalistika se bavi primjenjivanjem postojećih i iznalaženjem novih metoda i sredstava suprotstavljanja (preventivnih i represivnih) organizovanom kriminalitetu. Takođe, problem organizovanog kriminaliteta naučno se posmatra i sa gledišta drugih nauka, kao što su sociologija, političke nauke, bezbednosne nauke i druge. Dakle, jasno je da je predmet naučnog proučavanja organizovanog kriminaliteta multidisciplinaran. Zbog toga se nameće potreba sistematizovanja koherentnih znanja, kroz uspostavljanje naučne discipline koja bi za predmet proučavanja imala organizovani kriminaliteta. S tim u vezi, u radu ćemo govoriti i o koncipiranju nastavnog predmeta Organizovani kriminalitet, kao i o odnosu sa srodnim nastavnim predmetima i disciplinama.
