20.500.12556/DKUM-76250 Specific roles and responsibilities of the police in victim assistance police officers' view Posebne vloge in odgovornost policije pri pomoči žrtvam stališča policistov Purpose: The purpose of this research was to assess police officers’ views and their current practice in dealing with victims and to test differences in their attitudes regarding their gender, personal experience of victimization and years of professional experience. Design/Methods/Approach: A questionnaire based on the UN Declaration of Basic Principles of Justice for Victims of Crime and Abuse of Power was applied to two generations of police officers (N=155), who attended the victimology course. Descriptive statistics, discriminant analysis and chi-square test were used. Findings: Police officers mostly agree with good standards in treating victims’ rights. Discriminant analysis revealed no significant difference regarding police officers’ gender and personal experience of victimisation. Chi-square test revealed differences regarding years of professional experience in 3 of 31 analyzed items. Research limitations: The results are not generalizable since convenient sample was used. Another question to be considered is police officers’ attendance of the victimology course (although the questionnaire was carried out on the first class of students), which might lead police officers into giving socially desirable answers. Practical implications: This research gives valuable information to police strategic structures regarding the evaluation of the current practice and the creation of protocols and education programs. Originality/Value: This is the first research on this topic in Croatia. It gives insight into police officers’ views, and their current practice in treating victims. Namen prispevka: Namen te raziskave je bil oceniti stališča policistov glede njihove sedanje prakse pri delu z žrtvami in preveriti razlike v njihovih stališčih glede na spol, osebne izkušnje viktimizacije in število let poklicnih izkušenj. Metode: Za anektiranje dveh generacij policistov (N=155), ki so se udeležili tečaja viktimologije, je bil uporabljen vprašalnik, ki temelji na Deklaraciji ZN o osnovnih načelih pravičnosti za žrtve kaznivih dejanj ali zlorabe moči. Uporabljeni so bili opisna statistika, diskriminantna analiza in χ2 test. Ugotovitve: Policisti se v glavnem strinjajo, da se pri obravnavanju pravic žrtev uporabljajo dobri standardi. Diskriminantna analiza ni pokazala pomembnih razlik glede spola in osebnih izkušenj viktimizacije policistov. Glede števila let poklicnih izkušenj policistov pa je χ2 test pokazal razlike v treh od enaintridesetih analiziranih primerov. Omejitve raziskave: Ker je bil uporabljen priložnostni vzorec, rezultatov ni mogoče posploševati. Potrebno bi bilo upoštevati dejstvo, da so bili policisti slušatelji pri predmetu Viktimologija (čeprav je bilo anketiranje izvedeno na začetku predavanj), kar pa bi lahko privedlo do tega, da so policisti odgovarjali družbeno zaželeno. Praktična uporabnost: Raziskava nudi dragocene informacije policijskemu vodstvu na strateški ravni pri ocenjevanju sedanje prakse in pri oblikovanju protokolov in izobraževalnih programov. Izvirnost/pomembnost prispevka: To je prva raziskava na to temo na Hrvaškem. Nudi vpogled v stališča policistov in njihovo sedanjo prakso pri obravnavanju žrtev. police officers crime victims attitudes social expectations kazniva dejanja žrtve pomoč žrtvam policija policisti stališča true true true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2020-05-04 10:57:43 2020-05-04 10:57:44 2022-08-05 03:07:09 2020-05-13 03:27:06 2011 0 0 str. 145-168 št. 2 Letn. 13 2011 0000-00-00 PostprintKoncna Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 351.74:343.988 99492352 2170090 1580-0253 URN:SI:UM:DK:VWXEGAYV https://www.fvv.um.si/rv/arhiv/2011-2/04_KovcoVukadin-Matic.pdf 1 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=141784 https://www.fvv.um.si/rv/arhiv/2011-2/04_KovcoVukadin-Matic-E.html 1 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=141785 Fakulteta za varnostne vede Varstvoslovje 0 0 0
