A Force for Good? Mapping the Private Security Landscape in Southeast Europe

A Force for Good? Mapping the Private Security Landscape in Southeast Europe

Author(s): Arjan Dyrmishi,Rositsa Dzhekova,Donika Emini,Gentiola Madhi,Marko Milošević,Predrag Petrović,Atanas Rusev,Mentor Vrajolli / Language(s): English

The volume explores and assesses the origins and current state of the private security sector in four Southeast European countries (Bulgaria, Serbia, Albania and Kosovo), with specific reference to principles of good governance and the protection of human rights. In particular, the authors examine when and how the first private security companies developed and whether and how PSCs, their clients, and other factors such as relevant legislation determined the services private security offer today, and which companies were established/have survived in the market. The studies look into the economic importance of private security especially as a source of employment. They also explore if PSCs are able to provide quality security services by looking at the background and qualifications of managers and employees. A number of important questions are addressed: who are the people who work for PSCs, what is their level of expertise and professionalism and what are their working conditions? How important are (political) relationships for the success of a PSC and do domestic political considerations have an impact on which PSC receives contracts and how well they work? How is quality defined and enforced by both PSCs and their clients, especially public sector clients? Finally, do PSCs and state security providers coordinate, cooperate or compete with each other?

Etnické stereotypy ako zdroje vtipov o Rómoch

Etnické stereotypy ako zdroje vtipov o Rómoch

Author(s): Arne Mann / Language(s): Slovak Publication Year: 0

Od politickej zmeny v našej spoločnosti uplynulo už viac ako štvrťstoročie. Dôsledky novej politickej orientácie a ekonomickej transformácie po roku 1989 viedli k viacerým zmenám v sociálnej diferenciácii obyvateľstva, pričom sa prehĺbili rozdiely medzi jednotlivými vrstvami spoločnosti. Rómovia, ktorí už po niekoľko storočí predstavovali marginalizovanú skupinu obyvateľstva, sa – najmä po strate zamestnania – dostali do novej spoločenskej izolácie (Radičová, 2002: 84 – 91; Podoba, 2009: 579 – 581). Táto nová situácia sa premietla aj do zhoršenia medzietnických vzťahov, predovšetkým vo vzťahu majoritného obyvateľstva voči Rómom, na čo upozornilo viacero autorov (Vašečka, 2002a: 335 – 351; Puliš, 2002a: 413 – 442, 2002b: 445 – 473; Džambazovič, Jurásková, 2002: 527 – 563; Jurásková, 2002: 393 – 412).

Access to Justice: Provision of Information, Advice and Free Legal Aid in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Access to Justice: Provision of Information, Advice and Free Legal Aid in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Author(s): Elma Demir / Language(s): English

(English edition) Although Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) has made significant progress since the conflict in the mid 1990s, it still faces significant development challenges, such as high unemployment, underdeveloped rural areas, and an under-resourced and inefficient social welfare system. The economy is at 70% of its pre-war level of development, and 20% of the population lives below the poverty line, which is very high, given that an additional 30% of the population lives slightly above the poverty line. Taking these facts into account, the establishment of an efficient free legal aid system is pall the more important given the social status of BiH citizens and poverty rates in the country. In addition, many citizens remain uninformed about their rights and a large number of unresolved legal disputes instigated by citizens is hindering the efficient functioning of the courts in BiH. Finally, the large majority of citizens of BiH throughout find that the country should have an equally guaranteed right to the minimum free legal aid (90%). Despite these conditions, the current free legal aid system in BiH is unable to provide minimum legal assistance services to all citizens in BiH on an equal basis. As such, it does not fulfill the international and European standards in this regard. The NGO Vaša prava, the largest free legal aid provider in the country, states that the current free legal aid framework “is characterized by the absence of policy planning, many deviations from the Justice Sector Reform Strategy in BiH, as well as fragmentation and different approach in dealing with issues of legal aid. Also, the role of NGOs in the system of free legal aid has been continually minimized, which led to the absolute exclusion of NGOs from the public consultation process.”Public institutions have not been proactive in organising the provision of free legal aid in a systematic matter. Several legal aid services have recently been established in Republika Srpska, Brcko District and several other cantons, but these remain unavailable in many other cantons and in most rural areas. These and other similar issues have been identified as reasons for the adoption of a national legislative framework which would provide basic free legal aid and legal mechanisms for the reform of existing laws that may be a source of discrimination against citizens on the basis of the place where they may live. This report intends to add to the on-going policy debate by providing an analysis of the legal framework and current practice relating to the provision of information and assistance services to citizens and aims to identify several viable policy recommendations. In order to address these issues and policy options, a survey on the provision of information, advice and legal aid services in Bosnia and Herzegovina was organised throughout the period from March to May 2013. The purpose of the survey was to map existing citizens information and assistance services, to identify gaps in services and to develop policy recommendations. The survey was sent to an extensive number of public institutions – including municipalities and providers of free legal aid, as well as non-governmental organizations and trade unions were contacted in order. In total, 65 organizations participated in the survey, out of which 24 were public institutions (free legal aid institutions and municipalities) and 41 are non-governmental organizations.

ANTIDISKRIMINACIJA. Mladi u borbi protiv Diskriminacije

ANTIDISKRIMINACIJA. Mladi u borbi protiv Diskriminacije

Author(s): Mirela Selmanović,Snježana Ivandić Ninković,Božena Puljić / Language(s): Bosnian

Jednakost svih ljudi i zabrana diskriminacije jeste jedno od prava koja se garantiraju brojnim međunarodnim dokumentima. Shodno Dejtonskom mirovnom sporazumu, Bosna i Hercegovina je dužna primjenjivati ove najviše međunarodne standarde. Osim toga, kako se BiH nalazi u procesu priključivanja Evropskoj uniji, to je njena obaveza na primjenu ovih standarda veća, posebno kada je riječ o usklađivanju zakona sa zakonima EU. Međutim, svjedoci smo da je, bez obzira na sve obaveze koje je država preuzela, diskriminacija veoma široko rasprostranjena i bez adekvatnog odgovora države, tj. institucija odgovornih za provedbu Zakona o zabrani diskriminacije.

PRISTUP PRAVDI: PRUŽANJE INFORMACIJA, SAVJETA I BESPLATNE PRAVNE POMOĆI U BOSNI I HERCEGOVINI

PRISTUP PRAVDI: PRUŽANJE INFORMACIJA, SAVJETA I BESPLATNE PRAVNE POMOĆI U BOSNI I HERCEGOVINI

Author(s): Elma Demir / Language(s): Bosnian

(B/H/S edition) Iako je, od konflikta sredinom 90-ih godina prošlog vijeka, Bosna i Hercegovina (BiH) ostvarila popriličan napredak, još uvijek je suočena sa značajnim preprekama u pogledu razvoja, kao što su visoka stopa nezaposlenosti, nedovoljno razvijena ruralna područja, te neefikasan sistem socijalne pomoći koji ne dobiva dovoljno sredstava. Ekonomija se nalazi na 70% svog predratnog nivoa razvoja, a 20% stanovništva živi ispod granice siromaštva, što je jako visok procenat, imajući u vidu da još 30% stanovništva živi neznatno iznad granice siromaštva. Ako uzmemo u obzir ove činjenice, uspostavljanje efikasnog sistema besplatne pravne pomoći još više dobiva na značaju, imajući u vidu socijalni status građana BiH i stope siromaštva u zemlji. Uz to, mnogi građani i dalje nisu informirani o svojim pravima i veliki broj neriješenih slučajeva koje su pokrenuli građani ometa efikasno funkcioniranje sudova u BiH. 1 Na koncu, veliki broj građana širom BiH uviđa da bi u zemlji trebalo postojati jednako zagarantirano pravo na minimum besplatne pravne pomoći (90%).2 I pored ovakvog stanja, postojeći sistem besplatne pravne pomoći u BiH ne može, na jednakoj osnovi, obezbijediti minimum usluga pravne pomoći svim građanima u BiH. Kao takav, sistem ne zadovoljava međunarodne i evropske standarde u ovom pogledu. NVO Vaša prava, najveći pružatelj besplatne pravne pomoći u zemlji, navodi da postojeći okvir za besplatnu pravnu pomoć “karakterizira odsustvo planske politike u sistemu besplatne pravne pomoći, odstupanja od Strategije reforme sektora pravosuđa u BiH, te fragmentiranost i različit pristup u rješavanju pitanja besplatne pravne pomoći. Također, uloga nevladinih organizacija u sistemu besplatne pravne pomoći je kontinuirano minimizirana, što je vodilo apsolutnom isključenju NVO iz procesa javnih konsultacija.”3 Javne institucije nisu proaktivne u organiziranju pružanja besplatne pravne pomoći na sistematski način. U Republici Srpskoj, Brčko Distriktu i nekoliko kantona nedavno je osnovano nekoliko službi za pravnu pomoć, ali one i dalje nisu dostupne u mnogim drugim kantonima i u većini ruralnih područja. Ova i druga slična pitanja prepoznata su kao razlozi za usvajanje zakonskog okvira na nivou države koji bi obezbijedio osnovnu besplatnu pravnu pomoć i zakonske mehanizme za reformu postojećih zakona koji mogu biti izvor diskriminacije protiv građana na osnovu mjesta gdje žive. Cilj ovog izvještaja je da doprinese postojećoj debati o politikama time što će se u izvještaju analizirati zakonski okvir i postojeće prakse koje se odnose na usluge pružanja informacija i pomoći građanima te da se u istom identifikuje nekoliko ostvarivih preporuka u vezi sa politikama. Kako bi se započela rješavati ova pitanja i opcije u vezi sa politikama, u periodu od marta do maja 2013. godine, provedena je anketa o uslugama pružanja informacija, savjeta i pravne pomoći u Bosni i Hercegovini. Cilj ankete bio je da se mapiraju postojeće usluge pružanja informacija i pomoći za građane, da se identifikuju nedostaci u kontekstu usluga te da se izrade preporuke u vezi sa politikama. Anketom je obuhvaćen veliki broj javnih institucija – uključujući općine i pružatelje besplatne pravne pomoći, a kontaktirane su i nevladine organizacije i sindikati. U anketi je učestvovalo ukupno 65 organizacija, od kojih su 24 bile javne institucije (institucije za besplatnu pravnu pomoć i općine) i 41 nevladina organizacija.

Participatory Budgeting: Action Research Procedures in Community Work

Participatory Budgeting: Action Research Procedures in Community Work

Author(s): Witold Mandrysz / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Implementation of actions based on consensus and social dialogue builds a proper climate for cooperation among all social forces in order to solve a given problem or achieve a definite goal, also at local community level (Cohen, 1978; Ross, 1967). One of the manifestations of the practical implementation of the concept of participatory democracy and civil dialogue at the local community level, are actions within assumptions of participatory budgeting which may be defined as a form of “collective” decision-making process, within the framework of which, the inhabitants along with the local authorities co-create the city budget (Ganuza, Baiocchi, 2012; Górski 2007). A specific method that enables the checking of the level of willingness of members of a community to undertake common project actions is a participating intervention research. Planning extensive and costly environmental projects such as revitalization projects, should be preceded with implementation of a participatory budget according to methodology of participating intervention research.

Participatory Response to Needs of People Who Experience Homelessness: the Example of “Homeful – Homeless” Box Project

Participatory Response to Needs of People Who Experience Homelessness: the Example of “Homeful – Homeless” Box Project

Author(s): Małgorzata Kostrzyńska,Monika Wojtczak / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Social perceptions of homeless people seem to be deeply rooted, homogeneous and stereotypical. From that stems a stereotypical approach also to the needs of people who experience homelessness. Consequentially, that leads to a situation in which the assistance they receive is frequently inadequate, and thus ineffective. In that context, based on the example of the social model of disability, P. Beresford (2014) shows that it was not impairment that was the main cause of the social exclusion of disabled people, but the way society responded to people with impairments (Oliver, 2012: 43). Having in mind analogical perception of homeless people that functions in society, a thesis can be made, that it is not the mere fact of being homeless that is the reason behind the social exclusion of homeless people, but the way they are seen by others, and the way society reacts to them as a consequence of that perception. Beresford, among other things, suggests: to direct between service users and service providers; and to enhance service users’ participation in social work education, practice and research actions towards “targeting the disabling society” (Oliver, 2009: 51); to abolish the divisions (Beresford, 2014). Our participatory practice co-constructed with people who experience homelessness refers to those postulates through “Homeful – Homeless” Box [original name: Skrzynka “Domni-Bezdomni”]. It breaks down stereotypes related to homeless people by engaging different social actors; it abolishes the division between users and providers of services, because the boundaries between them clearly become blurred due to the activities undertaken as part of the Box; and finally, it includes users of services within different spheres of life, including practice, because it is them who become experts on their own needs and the actions they take, and it is them who become involved in helping other people, or who initiate that help. Therefore, sometimes it is difficult to differentiate between a volunteer and a participant of the project. The aim of this contribution is to recreate the actions that enhance the participatory potential of the social work project (“Homeful – Homeless” Box). The chapter starts with social construction of the homeless and its consequences with regard to the selection and the quality of social services. As a response to the problem of the social service system we present the “Homeful – Homeless” Box – the idea behind it, its evolution, and later on, also the social work with the homeless in the course of the project. Next, we present efforts to enhance the participatory potential of “Homeful – Homeless” Box.

Contemporary Scenario of Participatory Social Work Research in Rural India

Contemporary Scenario of Participatory Social Work Research in Rural India

Author(s): Hilaria Soundari / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Rural India, holding 68.84% of its population as per the census of 2011 (Office of the Registrar General & Census Commissioner, 2011), stands with an outstanding model of participatory practices in social work research. As the “we feeling” is common among the rural people, indeed it becomes more feasible to enable them to participate in the research process. Based on the divergent socio-economic and cultural background of the rural Indian situation, choosing the best research practices becomes a herculean task. It may certainly enable the bringing into the limelight the struggles and strengths of the marginalized and less privileged of the rural society. The present study strives in identifying the relevant research tools for rural population, which is relatively open to the participatory research approach. It highlights the relevance and suitability of adopting these methods in social work research, especially the collaborative research practices, combining the researcher and service users’ perspective which are found to be more effective and informative. The various constraints and difficulties faced by the researchers also are portrayed and examined in relation with the rural study at the grass root level.

Participatory Research with Romanian Roma Immigrants Living in Polish Settlements: Methodology, Results and Barriers

Participatory Research with Romanian Roma Immigrants Living in Polish Settlements: Methodology, Results and Barriers

Author(s): Katarzyna Czarnota / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Systemic segregation and economic exclusion of Romanian Roma immigrants in Poland, starting in the 1990s, has deprived this group from the right to work, health care, welfare system and adequate housing. Roma encampments built from recycled materials represent the most radical forms of collective response to the problem of access to housing. A group consisting of sociologists and activists conducted the first Polish sociological intervention studies with this community living in Polish encampments. The final report has been created in cooperation with Roma people. These studies show problems which this community is facing, making it impossible for the authorities to further ignore the presence of these people in Poland. The result of this research has been used to support social change in this community, and continues to support claims made to local authorities to change their policy. In this chapter I focus on the analysis of existing forms of cooperation with this community and the challenges faced by people who want to enter into the emancipatory forms of cooperation with Roma immigrants, presenting the possible fields of cooperation and obstacles.

Difficulties Faced by Researchers in Participatory Practices: An Example of Research with Roma People

Difficulties Faced by Researchers in Participatory Practices: An Example of Research with Roma People

Author(s): Marek Mikulec,Kateřina Glumbíková / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The number of socially excluded localities and persons residing in them has significantly increased in the Czech Republic over the last ten years. Socially excluded localities have their specific characteristics and environment that very often concern exclusively the Roma localities. The participatory research aims to gain access to the locality followed by the establishment of communication and cooperation with local residents. These relationships, however, show a number of difficulties that in this contribution are reconstructed based on the ethnographic research conducted in a socially excluded locality inhabited by the Roma community. Some partial recommendations have been formulated for accessing the field. These are recommendations relating to the individual characteristics of the researcher, the specific characteristics of the environment and the characteristics of the target group (the Roma community).

Dilemmas in Participatory Approaches
to Social Work

Dilemmas in Participatory Approaches to Social Work

Author(s): Alice Gojová,Kateřina Glumbíková / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Both the community work and the participatory research can be understood as approaches used in social work that increase participants’ capacity to improve their lives and facilitate social change for the benefit of disadvantaged groups. In participatory approaches, dilemmas can arise, which are defined as a situation where a social worker faces two mutually exclusive choices, which he/she has to choose from. We also perceive dilemmas in both approaches as emerging in the interaction with the systems of values. The paper presents the findings from two research projects whose objectives included the identification of dilemmas from two areas, namely from community work and from a participatory approach to homeless mothers. The dilemmas are divided into two categories; from the perspectives of community workers and from a researcher’s point of view. To interpret data we used the theory of empowerment and the typology of power by the authors John French and Bertram Raven (1960). As part of the discussion, the paper provides an overview of dilemmas in participatory approaches to social work research, on the example of the above-mentioned projects.

Lines of Activity Addressed to Families: Limiting the Participatory Approach as with Casework Practitioners

Lines of Activity Addressed to Families: Limiting the Participatory Approach as with Casework Practitioners

Author(s): Izabela Kamińska-Jatczak / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The chapter shows the course of activity of family assistants – caseworkers situated in the field of child protection practice in Poland. The contribution undertakes a reflection on the constraints in the implementation of the participatory approach which is found in the process of activities performed by assistants. These constraints are related to the scale of the problems faced by family members, as well as the wider determinants of institutional and legislative issues that prescribe the formal framework for the activity of caseworkers. The chapter describes the types of participation of family assistants and users that show the real face of participation, located in the field of social work with families, in particular in relation to child protection practice.

Doing Participatory Action Research: Reflections on Criticality and Social Justice from the Researchers’ Perspective

Doing Participatory Action Research: Reflections on Criticality and Social Justice from the Researchers’ Perspective

Author(s): Di Bailey,Adam Barnard,Linda Kemp / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This chapter explores Participatory Action Research (PAR) from the perspective of researchers who have applied PAR practises in two projects in the United Kingdom which are offered here as case studies. The first case study is a PAR based project which contemplates PAR by utilising the concept of “talking” as an activity for co-constructing knowledge about how young people who self-harm could be better helped when visiting their General Practitioners (GPs). The second is a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP), funded to improve a UK local authority’s children’s service and participation of children and young people in service design and delivery. Each case study is written and reflected upon by an individual contributor to this chapter. The chapter outlines what participatory action research is and advocates why PAR is valuable for Social Work. Case studies are then introduced and critically discussed leading to the authors’ critical self-reflections and concluding comments.

Institutions for the Execution of Criminal Sanctions for Minors

Institutions for the Execution of Criminal Sanctions for Minors

Author(s): Ivan Kuzminović,Ljiljana Palibrk / Language(s): English

Over the past ten years, the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia (HCHRS) has conducted dozens of visits to prisons in Serbia, with the aim of making an assessment of the human rights conditions for imprisoned and detained citizens. Since 2001, the HCHRS has visited all 28 institutions for the execution of criminal sanctions, many of which several times. In a vast number of reports, the HCHRS has conducted analyses and noted non-compliance with solutions prescribed by national legislature and international law on the one hand, and with common practices in the system of execution of criminal sanctions on the other. During the first visits to prisons in 2001, it was determined that human rights conditions were extremely poor. At that time, there were around 6,500 convicted and imprisoned persons in Serbia. Ten years later, resulting from vast efforts by non-governmental organizations (NGOs), international organizations (OSCE, UN, CoE), but that of the state as well, the human rights conditions in prisons have been significantly improved, primarily when the decreasing practice of torture and introduction of new (contemporary) legal solutions in the field of criminal sanctions are concerned. The implementation of the institute of alternative execution of criminal sanctions has finally begun in 2011. It includes the possibility of serving a sentence in home confinement (with or without electronic monitoring) for persons serving prison sentences of up to one year, or the conversion of the prison sentence to community work. However, the number of sentenced and detained persons in prison has nearly doubled over the same period of time.

Prison System in Serbia in 2011 – KPZ Niš, KPZ Sremska Mitrovica, KPZ Zabela

Prison System in Serbia in 2011 – KPZ Niš, KPZ Sremska Mitrovica, KPZ Zabela

Author(s): Ivan Kuzminović,Ljiljana Palibrk / Language(s): English

Serbia’s system for the execution of criminal sanctions has undergone multiple transformations over the past ten years. Since 1991, the prison system has a record of an increasing number of detainees and prisoners, which is the result of a more strict court policy. This occurrence was particularly pronounced as of 2003. Before 2003, the number of detained persons in the Republic of Serbia was steadily between 5,000 and 6,000; whereas afterwards the growth rate of the prison population amounted to more than 10%, so that today, the total increase as compared to the mentioned year surpasses 60%.

HELSINŠKE SVESKE №30: Zatvori u Srbiji 2010 - Praćenje reforme zatvorskog sistema

Author(s): Marija Jelić,Gordana Lukić-Samardžija,Ljiljana Palibrk,Ivan Kuzminović / Language(s): Serbian

Unapređivanje krivičnopravnog sistema, kao preduslov za izgradnju boljeg i bezbednijeg društva, jedan je od najvažnijih aspekata reforme pravosuđa koja se u Srbiji sprovodi poslednjih godina. Osim nesumnjivog značaja za zajednicu, posmatran u kontekstu ljudske bezbednosti ovaj segment reforme dodatno dobija na važnosti, jer je neminovno vezan za globalne procese i međunarodni pravni poredak. U isto vreme, i postupanje sa prestupnicima i zatvorenicima koji se nalaze na izdržavanju kazne, podleže brojnim zakonima i pravilima, konvencijama i drugim dokumentima koji se baziraju, kako na specifi čnoj unutrašnjoj i međunarodnoj legislativi, tako i na konceptu ljudskih prava. Imajući to u vidu, Helsinški odbor za ljudska prava je već 2002. godine počeo sa monitoringom zatvora u Srbiji, najpre kroz jednogodišnji projekat kojim je obuhvaćeno 13 zatvora, a potom kroz trogodišnji (2003-2006) regionalni projekat „Prevencija torture-podrška rehabilitaciji žrtava torture“, tokom koga je vršen kontinuirani monitoring svih zatvora u zemlji.

За социалното значение на проституцията

За социалното значение на проституцията

Author(s): Georgi Petrunov / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The text considers prostitution as a social phenomenon that requires sociological understanding and analysis. This statement stems from the social embeddedness of prostitution in the social structure and human relationships, regardless of the historical and socio-economic stage of their development. The report presents a summary of various sociological interpretations of the phenomenon under study – some of them view it as an expression of the commodification of human relationships and considering people as means in the capitalist system; others define it as structurally inseparable from the institution of marriage; still others draw attention to contemporary transformations in economic and cultural life, which have led to a change in the meaning that people attach to intimate relationships. Regardless of the prism through which prostitution is interpreted, it cannot be denied that today it has significantly increased in scale, has become a profitable industry and has significant economic and social importance. All this requires an analysis of various aspects (moral, legal, social, criminological) and opens up a field for the development not only of a sociology of prostitution, but also for the inclusion of the topic in a broader public and expert debate.
