The paper analyzes the United Nations' system of entities founded with a purpose of protecting and improving the rights and position of women and of promoting the gender equality, putting special emphasis on their activities promoting the role and position of women in the security sector. It discusses models, principles, and standards of their functioning; points to practical problems, deficiencies and weaknesses over their several-decade existence; and interprets objective circumstances which led to the establishment of a new entity - UN Women, on 2 July 2010, as an institutional mechanism of the United Nations dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women. This entity will connect four UN systems which have formerly addressed gender issues and position of women in different ways - DAW (Division for the Advancement of Women), INSTRAW (Institutional Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women), OSAGI (Office of the Special Adviser on Gender Issues), and UNIFEM (United Nations Development Fund for Women) - and will focus its work exclusively towards achieving the goals of gender equality and the empowerment of women in all aspects of their life and work. Functionally, this UN entity becomes operational on 1 January 2011. The paper analyzes legal documents regulating the establishment and functioning of this organization, in particular the provisions of the Resolution A/64/L.56 related to the establishment of this entity.

The growing trend of violent and aggressive behavior in a world that knows no boundaries of space or other characteristics (gender, race, religious affiliation) in the context of political developments in the institutional environment and family and emotional relationships, often raising the question of its causes and factors that contribute to its expression. This paper deals with the theoretical analysis of just causes and factors of violence, with a special research effort focuses on interpersonal violence, the most common form of manifestation of aggressive behavior. Under these considerations, the theoretical constructs were selected to contribute to the understanding of domestic violence as dangerous violations of human rights and the manifestation of dominance and power in the family setting.

Rаstuci trend nаsilnickog i аgresivnog ponаsаnjа u svetu ne poznаje prostorne granice ili druge kаrаkteristike (pol, rаsu, versku pripаdnost). Kriminalitet nasilja danas ubije godisnje u svetu 1,6 miliona ljudi. Nasilje koje se javlja u kontekstu politickih zbivаnjа, u institucionаlnom okruženju ili u porodici i partnerskim odnosima, ima svoje kompleksne uzroke i faktore koji doprinose njegovom ispoljavanju. Ovаj rаd se bаvi teorijskom аnаlizom uzrokа i fаktorа nаsiljа preko korpusa kriminoloskih nauka. Poseban istrаživаcki nаpor usmeren je nа oblike i faktore interpersonalnog nаsiljа, kao nаjcesceg oblika ispoljаvаnjа аgresivnog ponаsаnjа. U okviru tih rаzmаtrаnja, teorijski konstrukti treba da doprinesu i rаzumevаnju posledica nаsiljа kаo forme ispoljаvаnjа dominаcije i moci. --------------------- The growing trend of violent and aggressive behavior in the world knows no boundaries of space or other characteristics (gender, race, religion). Crime of violence today in the world annually kills 1.6 million people. The violence that occurs in the context of political developments in the institutional setting or in the family and intimate relationships, has complex causes and factors that contribute to its manifestation. This paper is concerned with the theoretical analysis of the causes and factors of violence over the corpus of criminological science. A special research effort is focused on the factors and forms of interpersonal violence, the most common forms of aggressive behavior. Under these considerations, the theoretical constructs should contribute to understanding the consequences of violence as a form of expression of dominance and power.

International documents ratified by Serbia, as well as the progress made at the local level in the last ten years, have led to the issue of gender equality becoming one of the most important for the future development of the country, and such a trend is present in the security sector. Implementing gender equality policy through education is one of the methods necessary in this sector. This is indicated, among other things, by the two action plans adopted so far (in the period from 2010 to 2020) for the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 "Women, Peace and Security" in Serbia. This paper analyses the degree of implementation of gender equality issues, i.e., gender perspective in educational programs on the example of the curriculum of the University of Criminal Investigation and Police Studies and the professional development program of trainees in the Center for Basic Police Training. Based on the analysis of the content of textbooks and language used in ...

Ovaj rad predstavlja analizu rezultata istraživanja koja su sprovedena u Srbiji u periodu od 1997. do 2010. godine, od strane nezavisnih istraživaca ili nevladinih organizacija koje se bave pružanjem pomoci i podrske žrtvama kriminaliteta, a koji se odnose na karakteristike žrtava porodicnog nasilja u Srbiji. Rad ima za cilj da predstavi i ukaže na osnovna viktimoloska obeležja nasilja u porodici i nasilja nad ženama (socio-demografska, psihicka, bihejvioralna obeležja žrtava i dr.). Istovremeno, njime su identifikovane su i posledice porodicnog nasilja koje direktno ili indirektno uticu na kvalitet života žrtava. Kroz analizu istraživanja, prezentovani su i oblici/modeli pružanja pomoci, podrske i zastite žrtvama porodicnog nasilja koji su u vreme realizovanih istraživanja funkcionisali u Srbiji. Istraživanja su pokazala da najveci deo žrtava cine žene (oko 80%), ali da su i deca direktne ili indirektne, sekundarne žrtve porodicnog nasilja, cime je potvrđena korelacija između nas...

At the beginning of the new millennium Serbia is recovering from the war in the area at the end of the XX century, as well as refugee exodus and changes in its social, demographic and economic structure. Lacking the strength and means to resist globalization, it enters the transition machinery which grinds and mercilessly crushes the small, the incapable and the un adapted. In such a complex milieu, burdened with social and economic difficulties, indicators of anomie in the Serbian society are expansion, specific spatial distribution, new forms of organizing and new patterns of different sociopathalogical phenomena, particularly prostitution. This paper examines official statistics related to prostitution in Serbia from 2001-2005. The analysis reports: • the number of prostitution charges filed • distribution of charges by years • spatial distribution • categorization of perpetrators by age and sex • professional qualifications - education and profession of perpetrators. The analysi...

Inspiracija za rad i problem(i) koji se radom oslovljava(ju): Proucavanje porodicnog nasilja je specifican izazov, zato sto ovaj oblik nasilja predstavlja specifican drustveni problem, cija se etiologija zasniva na multifaktorskom uticaju kulturoloskog, tradicionalnog, istorijskog ambijenta, odnosno, patrijarhata i rodne socijalizacije, posebno u zemljama zapadnog Balkana.

The multi-dimensional approach to understanding human and the implementation of the community policing strategy as two complementary parts of the concept of quality of life make it possible to qualitatively consider security in local communities. According to the concept of human security, institutions are obliged to provide citizens with permanent protection, instead of occasional, to act preventively, rather than reactively, whereby all relevant local community actors actively participate in deciding on issues related to their security. One way to actively involve key members of a community in improving (human) security at the local level is the formation of local security councils. In Serbia, the first local security councils were established in 2002 as a result of the implementation of the pilot project “Police in the local community and a safe community in Serbia”. Fifteen years later, there are 119 local security councils in Serbia. In addition to representatives of local self...

When the concept of societal security focused on social community and identity as its main value was constructed, a deeper political and security analysis of social phenomena and processes was possible to make. In the paper, the authors use the concept of societal security to analyse the actual process of the Republic of Turkey's accession to the European Union with special emphasis on the attitudes and statements of the EU and political representatives of its member states who securitize, by rethoric, Turkey's accession in order to protect the European identity.Konstituisanjem koncepta socijetalne bezbednosti, koji kao referentni objekat izučava društvenu zajednicu i identitet kao njenu vrednost, omogućena je dublja politička i bezbednosna analiza društvenih pojava i procesa.

Police officers who belong to the General Police Directorate of Republic of Serbia, in addition to the numerous powers and tasks they perform, based on the Law on Police, have the obligation to participate in protection and rescue operations. Besides the aforementioned law, the police are recognized as a part of the protection and rescue forces by the Law on Risk Reduction and Emergency Management. The role of the police in emergency situations is very important, and the scope of work of the police officers is expanding over time and becoming more and more diverse, and thus more complex. The police engages in the execution of tasks aimed at the security protection of citizens' property and lives, such as rescue and evacuation from endangered areas, providing first aid, delivery of food, medicine, etc.

The current acceptance of value orientations by adolescents, changes in acceptance over time, and the connection with changes in social relations are undoubtedly of special interest to researchers, as well as certain segments of society. In this article, the results of the acceptance of the same value orientations at seven points in time, published in the works of different authors starting from 1972 as the first year in which data were available, were compared with the results of their acceptance at the eighth point, i.e., in 2018. The 2018 results were obtained by the author of this article, on a random sample of 832 secondary school students in Belgrade, with the same value orientations as in the previous seven papers: utilitarianism, hedonism, altruism, and activism. The number and type of value orientations are limited by the need to have the same ones throughout the time interval so that comparison is possible. The aim of the paper was: a) to determine the degree of desirabili...

In this paper, the results from researches and court practice on domestic violence in Serbia were presented, conducted in the period 1997-2006, by independent researches or non-government agencies for help and support for victims of crime. The researches have shown that the majority of victims are women (80%), but also that children are present as direct or indirect, secondary victims of domestic violence, which confirms the correlation between violence against children and violence against women. Violence against children is one of the strategies of prolonged violence, that is, control over woman. Studies of domestic violence in Serbia have identified the following factors of primary victimization of victims: creation of identity of future victim in primary family, socialization through learning of gender roles and male-female relations, being caught in gender trap and growing-up in environment burdened with violence that follows the pattern of patriarchal stereotypes on gender rel...

The physical fitness of police officers needs to support good health and physical performance. Physical fitness comprises a considerable amount of training for police students who are to become police officers. However, to what degree police students are able to perceive their fitness level and differentiate between health-related and performance-related physical fitness is unknown. Therefore, the first aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of differentiation between health-related and performance-related physical fitness using physical self-concept and measured indicators of physical fitness. The second aim of this study was to investigate the association between components of physical self-concept and measured indicators of physical fitness of police students. The sample of 177 police students of both sexes (98 males and 79 females) completed a 40-item physical self-description questionnaire and their physical abilities were assessed for handgrip strength, standing ...

The concept of community policing is based on constant consultations between the police and the local self-government and a complex system of preventative responses. A qualitative approach has been applied in a rural community based on the analysis of administrative documents from 2003 to 2011, direct observation and a survey examining the attitudes of 65 police officers who participated directly in the project implementation. The major findings include the existence of a centralized police model and traditional policing, the resistance of low and middle managers to change and the absence of continuous consultations between the police and local self-government.

Gender issues within the police organisation, personnel structure and police culture have only recently become the subject of detaild academic research. Despite numerous analyses that deal with issues of organizational culture within the institutions of the security sector, there are still relatively few cross-cultural studies that deal with issues of equal opportunity, position, role, perspective, and barriers to the integration of women police officers. This work aims to help in getting better perspective of the current situation, i.e. a gender perspective within the police organization in Serbia, taking into account the current situation and opportunities provided to women working in the police. The paper also interprets official records of the appropriate authorities concerning the status of women within the territorial distribution and line police work. The central topic of this analysis is related to the equal opportunities policy, issues of discrimination, and harassment case...

The researches have also determined the profile of victims of violence regarding their age, education or employment, that is, economic (in)dependence.

Since 2000, the United Nation Security Council (UNSC) has adopted four resolutions on women, peace and security (Resolutions: 1325, 1820, 1888 and 1889). The Resolution 1325 „Women, peace and security“ was adopted on October 31st 2000. This document emphasizes the consequences of bloody conflicts on women and girls and the importance of women's role in peacebuilding and the post-conflict recovery of the country. A particular challenge for its implementation is the refugee crisis in which more than half a million people seeking asylum arrived in Europe starting in 2015. Among them are particularly vulnerable groups of women and children, accommodated in refugee camps and asylum centers. During the stay whose duration is not pre-determined, they are directed towards meeting the needs within the existing local resources (material and human). In this context, the readiness of local communities to ensure the safety and psychosocial well-being of the refugees and migrants, especially ...

Synopsis The paper is based on the results of the first qualitative research focusing on the position of policewomen in Serbia. The research was conducted from June to August 2011 on a sample of 30 policewomen of various standings as working police officers; it took into account the types of roles held, the police schools they finished, their professional experience and the size of the police organizations with which they were employed. The core questions in the analysis related to policewomen's experiences while completing their education, during the hiring process and while carrying out their police duties, as well as regarding possibilities for promotion. Although considerable improvement was noted regarding the status of women in the process of police education, most participants in the research had negative experience in the course of finding a job; they also experienced limitations with regard to their promotion as well as various sorts of harassment at work.

In the early 2000s, estimates indicated the presence of over a million pieces of firearms and a large amount of ammunition in the possession of Serbian citizens. At the same time, the demographics of domestic violence pointed to the consequences of the misuse of firearms in the context of family and partner violence. A large number of women’s killings (annually between 30 and 40) also raised the issue of possession of (non) legal weapons, as well as the adequate response of institutions in preventing fatal outbreaks. On the basis of the fact that Serbia passed the Law on Weapons and Ammunition in 2015, in 2013 it ratified the Istanbul Convention and adopted the Law on the Prevention of Domestic Violence in 2016, and the statistics on the death by murder of women in the context of domestic violence, the analytical approach in the paper focuses on seeking the answer to the question: whether the existing legislative framework provides for the protection of victims of violence against t...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether there are any differences between male and female police officers
when performing a job-related fitness test, as well as to determine the individual level of specific strengths and motor
abilities (hereinafter: SSMAs) as an indicator of work ability. The research was conducted in Serbia on a sample of 111
respondents (40 female and 71 male). In order to determine the SSMAs, this research applied the Obstacle Course test for
assessing specific abilities of police officers (OCSAPO1). Three variables were observed during the test: time needed for the
completion of the test (tSAPO1), maximum heart rate and capillary blood lactate concentration. On average, men completed
the test statistically significantly more efficiently than women, i.e. by 10.3%. According to the percentile distribution
of tSAPO1, 5% of women and 14.1% of men proved to be significantly above the average level of all tested respondents.
However, based on test results, 11.3% of men and 47.5% of women needed to improve their SSMAs in order to meet
occupational requirements. The OCSAPO1 test could be further used as one of the criteria that could help to further classify
police officers for various types of police work according to their physical abilities. It could be used to assess the SSMAs
relevant for a particular job position according to individual merits and regardless of gender, which would provide the
conditions necessary for achieving “equal opportunities” for women and thus do away with the system of binary logic and
gender dualism of the police organisation as a context of masculine culture, which, a priori, excludes women by using
physical abilities as the strongest argument in favour of maintaining the existing gender practice.

The physical fitness of police officers needs to support good health and physical performance. Physical fitness comprises a considerable amount of training for police students who are to become police officers. However, to what degree police students are able to perceive their fitness level and differentiate between health-related and performance-related physical fitness is unknown. Therefore, the first aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of differentiation between health-related and performance-related physical fitness using physical self-concept and measured indicators of physical fitness. The second aim of this study was to investigate the association between components of physical self-concept and measured indicators of physical fitness of police students. The sample of 177 police students of both sexes (98 males and 79 females) completed a 40-item physical self-description questionnaire and their physical abilities were assessed for handgrip strength, standing long jump, 30 s sit-ups, and 12-min running. Principal component analysis established health-related and performance-related physical fitness from both perceived and measured physical fitness measures. Correlation analysis revealed a significant relationship between the perceived and measured physical fitness. Results suggest small to moderate ability to recognize the level of certain physical abilities, indicating the association between psychological mechanisms and biological functioning.

Креирајући дизајн овог истраживања, аутори су пошли од чињенице да се, од преко 850 милиона примерака малокалибарског и лаког ватреног оружја данас у свету, више од две трећине налази у рукама приватних власника, најчешће мушкараца, и сакривено је у домовима. Истовремено, поседовање ватреног оружја представља једну од најизразитијих манифестација културе маскулинитета, насиља и традиционализма, при чему распрострањеност нелегалног и легалног ватреног оружја има значајне родне импликације и карактеристике. Зато је као циљ истраживања постављено идентификовање начина на који ватрено оружје утиче на обим и карактеристике насиља у породици. Методолошки приступ проблему истраживања подразумевао је правну анализу законодавног оквира у овој области у контексту примене Резолуције 1325 Савета безбедности Уједињених нација (СБ УН) „Жене, мир и безбедност“ у Републици Србији.

носно успеха на спречавању и сузбијању насиља у породици, а посебно
убистава у контексту породичних и партнерских односа.
Примена Резолуције 1325 у Србији, када је у питању (зло)употреба
ватреног оружја и насиље у породици, заштита, помоћ и подршка
женама из дискриминисаних група, одвијаће се у амбијенту којег, у
законодавном смислу, дефинишу два закона: Закон о оружју и муницији
и Закон о спречавању насиља у породици. Међутим, општи је закључак
истраживања да формулисане политике и постављени законодавни
оквир не укључују родни аспект у довољној мери и не препознају раз-
личите безбедносне потребе мушкараца и жена, дечака и девојчица.

Danijela Spasić Pregledni naučni rad saŽetaK inspiracija za rad i problem(i) koji se radom oslovljava(ju): Proučavanje porodičnog nasilja je specifičan izazov, zato što ovaj oblik nasilja predstavlja specifičan društveni problem, čija se etiologija zasniva na multifaktorskom uticaju kulturološkog, tradicio-nalnog, istorijskog ambijenta, odnosno, patrijarhata i rodne socijalizacije, posebno u zemljama zapadnog Balkana. Zbog toga, ovaj rad prezentuje i ispituje tematiku poro-dičnog nasilja u Srbiji i Grčkoj. Ciljevi rada (naučni i/ ili društveni): Naučni cilj ovog istraživanja usmeren je ka pru-žanju doprinosa kroskulturalnom akademskom proučavanju porodičnog nasilja kao fenomena. Društveni cilj istraživanja vezan je za razumevanje porodičnog nasilja kao društvenog problema i problema kvaliteta života. metodologija/ dizajn: Teorijska razmatranja u okviru kvalitativnog metodološkog pri-stupa se fokusiraju na društveno-kulturološke perspektive koje su rezultat patrijarhal-ne strukture srpskih i grčkih institucija i sistema. Ograničenja rada/ istraživanja: Istraživanje nasilja u Grčkoj ukazuje na nedostatak re-levantnih kvalitativnih studija i baza podataka. U Srbiji se porodično nasilje prepoznaje i istražuje kao društveni, a ne individualni, lični problem žrtava. rezultati/ generalni zaključak: Zajedničke karakteristike porodičnog nasilja u Srbiji i Grčkoj uslovljene su sličnostima kulturološkog, istrorijskog, verskog i tradicionalnog ambijenta, i uticajem patrijarhalnih društvenih struktura i rodne socijalizacije. Opravdanost istraživanja/ rada: Istraživanje porodičnog nasilja predstavlja doprinos sagledavanju kvantitativnih i kvalitativnih specifičnosti pojave koju karakterišu predra-sude, snažan uticaj tradicije i kulta patrijarhata.

Апстракт Почетком 2000-их година процене су указивале на присуство преко милион комада ватреног оружја и велике количине муниције у поседу грађана Србије. Истовремено, демографија насиља у породици упозоравала је на последице зло-употребе ватреног оружја у контексту породичног и партнерског насиља. Вели-ки број убистава жена (годишње између 30 и 40) покренуо је и питање поседова-ња (не)легалног оружја, али и адекватног реаговања институција спречавањем насиља са смртним исходом. На основу чињенице да је Србија донела Закон о оружју и муницији 2015. године, да је 2013. ратификовала Истанбулску конвен-цију и усвојила Закон о спречавању насиља у породици 2016. и статистике уби-става жена у контексту насиља у породици, аналитички приступ у раду усмерен је на тражење одговора на питање Предвиђа ли постојећи законодавни оквир заштиту жртава насиља од злоупотребе ватреног оружја?. Налази истражи-вања указују на потребу унапређења кохерентности законодавног одговора на ризике узроковане присуством ватреног оружја у контексту насиља, али и на успостављање јачих веза између законодавног оквира контроле ватреног оружја и закона којима се регулише одговор на насиље у породици и партнерско на-сиље. Кључне речи: ватрено оружје, родно засновано насиље, законодавни оквир, Србија. Abstract In the early 2000s, estimates indicated the presence of over a million pieces of firearms and a large amount of ammunition in the possession of Serbian citizens. At the same time, the demographics of domestic violence pointed to the consequences of the misuse of firearms in the context of family and partner violence. A large number of women's killings (annually between 30 and 40) also raised the issue of possession of (non) legal weapons, as well as the adequate response of institutions in preventing fatal outbreaks. On the basis of the fact that Serbia passed the Law on Weapons and Ammunition in 2015, in 2013 it

Добривоје М. Радовановић 3 Универзитет у Београду Факултет за специјалну едукацију и рехаб илитацију Београд (Србија) АДОЛЕСЦЕНТСКЕ ВРШЊАЧКЕ ГРУПЕ И ЗЛОУПОТРЕБА ДРОГЕ Сажетак: Злоупотреба дроге је важан проблем савременог доба. Последице које она има за друштво, државу и здравље појединаца захтевају темељна и хитна науч-на истраживања свих њених аспеката. Истраживање етиологије злоупотреба дро-ге у популацији младих у Србији један је од таквих пројеката. Ово истраживање је обављено на репрезентативном узорку од 1287 ученика средњих школа у Београду, подељених у две групе: оне који злоупотребљавају дрогу и оне који немају контакт с дрогом. Циљ рада био је да се идентификују ризични фактори унутар вршњачких група који могу имати предиктивну вредност и послужити као основ за превентивне интервенције. Анализа података урађена је каноничком дискриминативном анали-зом, посебно за дечаке и девојке. Резултати истраживања су показали да код адо-лесцената постоје три облика злоупотреба дроге: 1) само коришћење, 2) коришћење и растурање и 3)само растурање дроге. Предиктори тих понашања који припадају вршњачким групама су: притисак групе да се користи дрога, опажање појединца да чланови групе користе дрогу, коришћење алкохола у групи, бављење појединих чланова групе криминалом и позитиван став чланова групе према кршењу закона. Предикторски утицаји ових варијабли разликују се зависно од облика злоупотреба дроге и од пола испитаника. Кључне речи: Злоупотреба дрога, адолесценти, вршњачки утицаји I Увод У наукама које се баве проучавањем девијантних понашања сматра се да су млади у периоду адолесценције највише изложени многоврсним факторима који повећавају 1 ivana.radovanovic@kpu.edu.rs 2

Since 2000, the United Nation Security Council has adopted four resolutions on women, peace and security (UN SC Resolutions: 1325, 1820, 1888 and 1889). The UN SC Resolution 1325 "Women, peace and security" was adopted on 31 st October 2000. This document emphasizes the consequences of armed conflicts on women and girls and the importance of women's role in peace-building and the post-conflict recovery of the country. A particular challenge for its implementation has been the refugee crisis, as a result of which more than half a million asylum seekers have arrived in Europe since 2015. Particularly vulnerable groups among them are women and children, who are accommodated in refugee camps and asylum centers. During their stay in these centers, they focus on meeting their basic needs within the existing local (material and human) resources. In this context, the readiness of local communities to ensure the safety and psycho-social well-being of refugees and migrants, especially women and children, in accordance with the adopted Action Plan for the implementation of UNSC Resolution 1325, will come to the fore. The analytical approach in this paper includes the identification of the key determinants of the UNSC Resolution 1325 in the local context of response to the refugee crisis.
