Forensic anthropologists use the theory and techniques of biological anthropology to determine how recently individuals lived and died. They study skeletal remains from crime scenes, wars and mass disasters within the very recent past to reveal the life history and identity of an individual, and to understand the context in which death occurred. During excavation, in order to ensure full recovery and good contextual information, osteologists rely on archaeological techniques to find, document and remove skeletal remains from their in situ conditions. At the crime scene, an anthropologist makes a preliminary determination of whether the remains are human or nonhuman and whether more than one individual is present. Once exposed and mapped, individual bones are tagged, bagged, and removed to the laboratory for more detailed curation and examination. A strict chain of custody is established to ensure that the remains cannot be tampered with, in case they represent evidence in a court of...

Due to their frequency and importance, traffic crimes are an important subject of theoretical study. Violation of traffic regulations is sanctioned by the norms of misdemeanor and criminal law, which makes this area complex, but also leads to certain difficulties in the interpretation and application of law. The authors thoroughly analyze the legal description of the criminal offense of endangering the public transport and its qualified forms. A particular attention is paid to the the interpretation of certain subjective and objective elements of this criminal offense (consequence, mens rea and objective conditions of incrimination). The authors point out certain inconsistencies in the court practice and propose legislative changes to improve criminal protection and establish a more legitimate and pragmatic distinction between criminal and misdemeanor acts.

Food is imperative for biological survival. It is a necessity and a source of health and vitality if taken with the awareness of all the correlations between food and health and development. This paper aims to research the correlation between food, health, and longevity, and the factors in the chain of food safety and healthy food and diet to determine their role and significance and offer recommendations based on results and conclusions. Since children and adolescents are more likely to be affected by an unhealthy diet in the long term, their dietary habits were also researched. The paper identified the elements of importance for this problem - individuals, family, education system, media, food producers, state and international organizations. After analysis of the roles of all the elements and stakeholders in the chain of food safety and healthy diet, recommendations for each link in that chain were given.

Street development is a form of development and content of all elements of a significant criminal offense and was committed against one or more persons, who walked, known or unknown to the executor, performed in public places that should become proposed, parks, public garages, entrances and stairs in residential buildings, etc.). They belong to the more frequent types of robbery, characterized by less sophistication in execution and direct confrontation that determines the quantity of fear suffered, the scope and intensity of the studied consequences. The aim of the research was to examine the influence of the previous experience of the perpetrators of the robbery on the way of choosing the victim, the place of victimization and the presence of other persons who would be in the immediate or close environment of the street robbery victim. The sample consisted of 42 respondents who committed street robbery out of 120 examined perpetrators of the crime of robbery and serious cases of r...

Physician-assisted suicide is one of the features with very different legal solutions in the world. In Serbia, physician-assisted suicide is a crime, within a crime of the assisted suicide. The possibility of the legislation of the voluntary active euthanasia may open the door to the decriminalization of the physician-assisted suicide. Data were obtained from the Clinical Hospital Center in Kragujevac, Republic of Serbia collected during 2015. The research included 88 physicians: 57 male physicians (representing 64.77% of the sample) and 31 female physicians (35.23% of the sample). Due to the nature, subject, and hypothesis of the research, the authors used descriptive method and the method of the theoretical content analysis. We have raised numerous questions. A slight majority of the physicians (58%) believes that physician-assisted suicide should be legalized, while 42% is for another solution. 90.9% took a viewpoint that it is completely unacceptable legalization of the physicia...

In the majority of countries, active direct euthanasia is a forbidden way of the deprivation of the patients' life, while its passive form is commonly accepted. This distinction between active and passive euthanasia has no justification, viewed through the prism of morality and ethics. Therefore, we focused on attention on the moral and ethical implications of the aforementioned medical procedures. Data were obtained from the Clinical Hospital Center in Kragujevac, collected during the first half of the 2015. The research included 88 physicians: 57 male physicians (representing 77% of the sample) and 31 female physicians (23% of the sample). Due to the nature, subject and hypothesis of the research, the authors used descriptive method and the method of the theoretical content analysis. A slight majority of the physicians (56, 8%) believe that active euthanasia is ethically unacceptable, while 43, 2% is for another solution (35, 2% took a viewpoint that it is completely ethically...

For decades, terrorism has been an area of significant interest of academics from different fields of research. However, until the end of the twentieth century, the terrorism wasn’t observed as a global threat. The terrorist attacks of the early 21st century in modern sociological and criminological literature are referred to as a milestone in the development of the phenomenon of terrorist crime. The post-modern or contemporary terrorism, by its essence, scale and phenomenology, significantly differs from classical and modern forms of this criminal phenomenon. The authors discuss conceptual definitions of terrorism and identify key elements for defining this phenomenon. The authors also indicate the specific characteristics of the contemporary (post-modern) terrorism, and then analyze the role of criminal legislation, focusing on the Serbian criminal legislation and the most important acts of international law in this area. The main question is whether the Serbian legal framework ...

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je, da se sagleda kaznena politika i efikasnost sudova u vođenju krivičnog postupka protiv punoletnih učinilaca krivičnih dela razbojničke krađe, razbojništva i iznude. Istraživanje je dizajnirano kao studija preseka. Uzorak su činile sve odluke sudova za krivična dela razbojničke krađe, razbojništva i iznude na teritoriji Republike Srbije, za koje je postupak okončan, u periodu od 2007 do 2012. godine. Podaci su preuzeti od Republičkog zavoda za statistiku i odnose se na statističko istraživanje kriminaliteta, praćenjem optuženih i osuđenih lica za ova krivična dela. Rezultati pokazuju nedovoljnu efikasnost sudova u vođenju krivičnih postupaka i veliku disproporciju između kaznene politike zakonodavca u vidu zaprećene kazne i kaznene politike sudova u iskorišćenosti propisanih kaznenih raspona.

Сажетак Аутори у раду образлажу проблем лишења живота из сами-лости, као једног од најкомплекснијих правних, медицинских, ре-лигијских, етичких и социјалних питања. Иако није спорно да се о овој теми воде бројне расправе широм света, те да се му се пос-већује различита пажња, а што зависи од државе до државе, те од културе којој припада предметна држава. Аутори, пак, овом питању прилазе са другачијег становишта, повезујући више различитих пи-тања у једну целину. На првом месту, аутори објашњавају кривично дело лишења живота из самилости према Кривичном законику Ре-публике Србије, а потом прелазе на образлагање права на достојан-ствену смрт које је предвиђено Нацртом Грађанског законика Репу-блике Србије, које би неминовно, усвајањем овог законика, довело до измена у Кривичном законику. На крају, аутори дају резултате емпиријског истраживања које је спроведено у Клиничко-болнич-ком центру у Крагујевцу, а у вези са предметном проблематиком. Кључне речи: еутаназија, кривично дело, право на достојанствену смрт, легализација

Background Euthanasia is one of the most intriguing ethical, medical and law issues that marked whole XX century and beginning of the XXI century, sharply dividing scientific and unscientific public to its supporters and opponents. It also appears as one of the points where all three major religions (Catholic, Orthodox, and Islamic) have the same view. They are strongly against legalizing mercy killing, emphasizing the holiness of life as a primary criterion by which the countries should start in their considerations. Studying criminal justice systems in the world, the authors concluded that the issue of deprivation of life from compassion is solved on three ways. On the first place, we have countries where euthanasia is murder like any other murder from the criminal codes. Second, the most numerous are states where euthanasia is murder committed under privilege circumstances. On the third place, in the Western Europe we have countries where euthanasia is a legal medical procedure, under requirements prescribed by the law. In this paper, authors have made a brief comparison of the solutions that exist in some Islamic countries, where euthanasia is a murder, with Western countries, where it represents completely decriminalized medical procedure.
