They guarantee that professional duties will be performed not only in compliance with the law but also in line with certain moral rules. Without respect of moral rules and ethical norms, all human activities would be deprived of social and moral dimensions. The principles of professional ethics are extremely important when it comes to performing police work because they have special significance for citizens’ security, state security and suppression of various forms of crime. The special importance of police activities necessarily leads to a greater accountability of police officers in terms of legality in performing their tasks. As the principle of legality encompasses the principle of ethics, they should be regarded as parts of the same whole. The acquisition of ethical principles is part of the socialization process, but the adoption of specific principles which are important for the operation of the police is also an important segment of permanent police education and training provided at all levels of study at the Basic Police Training Centre in Sremska Kamenica and at the Academy of Criminalistic and Police Studies in Belgrade. This is a prerequisite for good training of police officers and their ability to respond to all challenges of police work.
The paper discusses the ethical aspects of police officers’ work at all levels. The author analyzes the provisions of the Code of Police Ethics (“Official Gazette of RS”, No. 17/2017) concerning the principles of legality and the rule of law, police and judiciary cooperation, organization and functioning of the police, recruitment of police personnel, duties and the rights of police officers, police activities and powers, scientific research and international cooperation. The paper aims to point out the importance of close observance and consistent application of ethical principles in the work of the police in order to secure the implementation of the rule of law principle.

Svaka organizovana društvena i lokalna aktivnost, koja ima za cilj suzbijanje kriminaliteta zasnovana je na određenim principima koji predstavljaju osnovu politike suzbijanja kriminaliteta. Predmet rada su najvažniji principi savremene politike suzbijanja kriminaliteta: jednakost, zakonitost, legitimnost, krivica, humanost, srazmernost, pravednost. Cilj rada je da se ukaže na povezanost ovih principa i najznačajnijih društvenih vrednosti koje su zaštićene krivičnim pravom. Važno je istaći da su konkretne mere za ostvarenje ove zaštite operacionalizovane politikom suzbijanja kriminaliteta, što ukazuje na društveni karakter politike suzbijanja kriminaliteta. Kao što je već navedeno, politiku suzbijanja kriminaliteta i principe na kojima je ona zasnovana, ne treba posmatrati parcijalno, nezavisno od ostalih krivičnopravnih nauka i naučnih disciplina (krivičnog prava, penologije, kriminologije, sudske psihijatrije, krivičnog procesnog prava i dr). Na ovaj način, kroz jedinstvenu i suštinsku povezanost krivičnopravnih nauka i naučnih disciplina, moguće je kreirati odgovarajući oblik i meru pravne i društvene reakcije na različite oblike kriminaliteta.

Kriminalna etiologija predstavlja centralno polje izučavanja kriminologije. Ona se bavi izučavanjem uzroka, uslova i povoda kriminalnog ponašanja. Sa kriminalnom fenologijom je neraskidivo povezana jer kriminalitet kao antisocijalna pojava ne može se analizirati i razumeti bez poznavanja njegovih uzroka. Zbog toga se istraživanju kriminaliteta mora pristupiti interdisciplinarno. Prof. dr Darko Dimovski u svojoj monografiji „Kriminalna etiologija“, upravo na taj način sagledava kriminalitet, te ova monografija predstavlja izuzetno važnu analitičko-sintetičku studiju najznačajnijih kriminoloških teorija i faktora kriminaliteta. U savremenoj srpskoj kriminološkoj literaturi nedostaju studije o kriminalnoj etiologiji, pa je i zbog toga značajna ova monografija.
