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.

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.

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.

Овај кратак историјски приказ дисциплинских преступа ученика, и предвиђених, а потом спроведених дисциплинских мера, на основу законске регулативе која одражава основне вредности српског друштва у 19. и почетком 20. века, доказује рефлексију комплекса друштвено-историјских кретања на породичне, социјалне, вредносне и васпитнообразовне релације у периоду српске историје који су обележила прекретничка збивања и појаве, а посебно буран развој политичког, друштвеног и културног живота младог српског друштва. У раду се, према историјским раздобљима у развоју школског система у Србији, даје преглед ученичких дисциплинских преступа, изречених казни, али и процентуална поређења броја ученика у тадашњим школама и изречених дисциплинских мера. Кључне речи: школа, дисциплина ученика, дисциплинске казне. Summary: Review of issues and student discipline situations in schools in Serbia in the previous two centuries, the introduction and (or) a stimulus that, in another paper, the following placed the matrix, makes the parallels between the socio-historical and educational-correctional Serbian past and current state at the beginning of the new millennium, with severe forms of bullying in schools. This brief historical view of student disciplinary offenses, and predicted, and then carried out the disciplinary measures through legislation that maintains the fundamental values of Serbian society in the 19th and early 20th century, proved a reflection of the complex socio-historical developments in family, social, value and educational relations between the Serbian history that marked the milestone events and phenomena, especially the development of the turbulent political, social and cultural life of a young Serbian society. The paper, according to historical periods in the development of the school system in Serbia, provides an overview of student disciplinary offenses, imposed fines, and comparing the percentage of students in schools and then imposed disciplinary measures.

"Predictive policing" became an umbrella term for a variety of models, software and applications. All location based predictive policing programs however have the same aim: Sending police officers to the right place at the right time. For decades, police action has been rather reactive than proactive, focused on arrest and failing to see incidents as indicators of continuing underlying problems. Predictive policing has been praised as a turnaround of this approach, a "panacea" for the optimization of resources and the creation of a safer society, where the police can stop breaches of law, before they happen. Although lately more critical voices have been raised from civil society and research, questioning the effectiveness of the tools as well as their compatibility with human rights, there is still a lack of objective research on the issue.

Rad ima za cilj da predstavi i ukaže na osnovna viktimološka obeležja nasilja u porodici i nasilja nad ženama (socio-demografska, psihička, bihejvioralna obeležja žrtava i dr.). Istovremeno, njime su identifikovane su i posledice porodičnog nasilja koje direktno ili indirektno utiču na kvalitet života žrtava. Kroz analizu istraživanja, prezentovani su i oblici/modeli pružanja pomoći, podrške i zaštite žrtvama porodičnog nasilja koji su u vreme realizovanih istraživanja funkcionisali u Srbiji. Istraživanja su pokazala da najveći deo žrtava čine žene (oko 80%), ali da su i deca direktne ili indirektne, sekundarne žrtve porodičnog nasilja, čime je potvrđena korelacija između nasilja nad decom i nasilja nad ženama. Nasilje nad decom predstavlja jednu od strategija produženog nasilja, kao oblika kontrole nad ženom. Studije porodičnog nasilja u Srbiji identifikovale su sledeće faktore primarne viktimizacije žrtava: kreiranje identiteta buduće žrtve u primarnoj porodici, socijalizaciju učenjem tradicionalnih muško-ženskih uloga i relacija, tzv. "uhvaćenost u zamku roda" i život u okruženju opterećenom nasiljem. Istraživanja su, takođe, odredila profil žrtava nasilja u vezi sa njihovim uzrastom, obrazovanjem ili zaposlenjem, to jest, ekonomskom (ne)zavisnošću. Nasilje u porodici nosi sa sobom različite posledice psihološke prirode. Gubljenje samopouzdanja i samopoštovanja, depresija, nesanica, izolovanost od spoljašnjeg sveta, strahovi i drugo, pokazatelji su njegovog negativnog uticaja na život i zdravlje ispitanica. Kao oblici pružanja pomoći, podrške i zaštite žrtvama porodičnog nasilja u Republici Srbiji prepoznati su: pravni (zakonski) model, socijalna zaštita i modeli delovanja službi civilnog, nevladinog sektora.

45 YEARS HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE AREA OF SECURITY – EDUCATIONAL CHALLENGES AND SECURITY PERSPECTIVES

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 ...

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...

Zbog toga, ovaj rad prezentuje i ispituje tematiku porodicnog nasilja u Srbiji i Grckoj. Ciljevi rada (naucni i/ ili drustveni): Naucni cilj ovog istraživanja usmeren je ka pružanju doprinosa kroskulturalnom akademskom proucavanju porodicnog nasilja kao fenomena. Drustveni cilj istraživanja vezan je za razumevanje porodicnog nasilja kao drustvenog problema i problema kvaliteta života. Metodologija/ dizajn : Teorijska razmatranja u okviru kvalitativnog metodoloskog pristupa se fokusiraju na drustveno-kulturoloske perspektive koje su rezultat patrijarhalne strukture srpskih i grckih institucija i sistema. Ogranicenj...

Насиље у породиципредставља једну од појава која угрожава систем и принципе функционисањалокалне заједнице и квалитет живота њених грађана. Међу ресурсима којелокална заједница ангажује у одговору на насиље у породици кључно местозаузима полиција.

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...
