  • Sociodemographic Characteristics and Motives of Youth Membership in Fan Groups - Empirical Research on a Sample of High School Students in Serbia
    Saša Milojević, Srđan Milašinović, Bojan Janković
    Stanovnistvo, 2025
    Ovaj rad se bavi istraživanjem društvenog značaja i motivacije članstva u navijačkim (ultras) grupama kod mladih. Teorijski okvir počiva na sociološkim i socijalno-psihološkim pristupima koji navijačke grupe posmatraju kao specifične omladinske supkulture koje pružaju osećaj identiteta i pripadnosti. Istraživanje je sprovedeno na uzorku srednjoškolaca iz Srbije (N = 3662), kroz upitnik o navijačkim sklonostima, motivima učlanjenja u navijačku grupu i sklonosti ka nasilnom ponašanju povezanim sa navijačkim aktivnostima. Rezultati pokazuju da otprilike svaki sedmi ispitanik pripada nekoj navijačkoj grupi, pri čemu je članstvo znatno učestalije među mladićima nego devojkama. Kao glavne motive članstva, mladi navode podršku voljenom klubu i društvenu povezanost – članstvo doživljavaju kao način da se pripada zajednici istomišljenika i doprinese sportskom uspehu kluba. Statistički testovi ukazuju da članovi navijačkih grupa imaju drugačiji obrazac vrednosti i ponašanja u odnosu na vršnjake koji nisu članovi: oni češće vrednuju klupske obaveze iznad školskih, i značajno češće učestvuju u fizičkim sukobima i incidentima povezanim sa navijanjem. Diskusija ovih nalaza pokazuje da su navijačke grupe za mlade prvenstveno izvor identiteta, emocionalne podrške i adrenalinskog uzbuđenja, što objašnjava snažnu lojalnost grupi ali istovremeno nosi rizik od devijantnih ponašanja (huliganizma). U zaključku se ističe društveni značaj razumevanja ovih motiva: umesto stereotipnog posmatranja mladih navijača samo kao „problematičnih huligana”, potrebno je uvažiti da navijačke grupe ispunjavaju važne potrebe mladih za pripadnošću i smislom. Shodno tome, preporučuju se intervencije koje bi njihovu energiju usmerile u konstruktivnom pravcu, uz uvažavanje grupnog identiteta, čime bi se umanjili nasilni aspekti bez gubitka osećaja zajedništva.
  • The Effectiveness of Police Forces Through Centuries: The Evolution of Training Process in Contemporary Social Context
    Saša Milojević, Boban Milojković, Bojan Janković
    Nbp Nauka Bezbednost Policija, 2025
    By researching the emergence and development of police training, it is considered how, throughout history, the structure and organization of police forces were shaped, with special emphasis on the processes of education, permanent training and professional development. The evolution of police training in response to dynamic social change and growing demands for professionalism, specialization and certification are being considered. Approaches to training in different countries are analysed, showing how national and international factors shape educational methods and goals. The paper also sheds light on how theoretical knowledge and practical skills in training contribute to the effectiveness and efficiency of police work in modern society. The paper aims to provide insight into key trends and challenges in police training, with the perspective of further improvement and adaptation of educational strategies to respond to the demands of the modern age.

  • Police Use of Deadly Force in Serbia: The Police Officers’ Perception
    Veljko Turanjanin, Božidar Otašević, Bojan Janković
    Sage Open, 2024
    The use of deadly force in the Republic of Serbia is regulated by the Law on Police and the Rulebook on Police Powers. Empirical research on the use of deadly force or on refraining from the use of deadly force has never been undertaken in Serbia. Therefore, the research presented in this paper is the first on this important topic. It focuses on the use of firearms, abstinence from the use of firearms, and training in the use of firearms. In order to assess the competence of members of the Police Directorate of the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Serbia in the use of firearms (FA), a structured questionnaire developed by using close-ended, multiple-choice questions, and 5-point Likert scale questions (1 for strongly disagree to 5 for strongly agree) was used in the study. The research was conducted from September to October 2022. The research showed that the use of deadly force by members of the police in Serbia is rare, and that it generally does not differ largely from other European countries.

    Nbp Nauka Bezbednost Policija, 2021
    The subject of the research was the examination of the factors of influence on the preparedness of the private security for disasters caused by fire. In addition to determining the preparedness index, there are deeper insights into the interrelationships between various selected variables and the level of preparedness of members of the private security. Using the random sampling method, 300 adult members of the private security were selected, and they participated in the research. The results of the research indicate that members of private security were not sufficiently prepared to react to fires. The research results could be used as a starting point for conducting further research in this area since the improvement in training of security personnel plays an important role in disaster control and prevention, thereby producing safer and more secure work environment and society.
  • Public perception of police behaviors in the disaster COVID-19 – The case of Serbia
    Bojan Janković, Vladimir Miroljub Cvetković
    Policing, 2020
    PurposeThe aim of the study is to determine the perception of general public on the Serbian police behaviors in combating COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the perception of the citizens how successful the police units were in fulfilling their tasks.Design/methodology/approachDue to the state of emergency declared due to COVID-19 pandemic, in particular the restriction of movement and the need for social distance, the data collection for this study had to be conducted via the online survey platform (Google.doc). The study was conducted during March–April 2020, only four weeks after the state of emergency was declared. The participants were invited to complete the online questionnaire in their native language by using the snowball sampling strategy focused on recruiting the general public via social media tools.FindingsConsidering the fact that police officers are not sufficiently prepared and trained to respond in these specific circumstances, it is necessary to improve their engagement in the future by conducting appropriate training, procuring adequate resources, implementing adequate planning activities, etc. The results of the multivariate regressions of public perception preparedness subscale show that the most important predictor is gender and it explains 23.6% of the variance in preparedness subscale. The remaining variables did not have significant effects on preparedness. This model with all mentioned independent variables explains 6.1% of the variance of preparedness subscale.Originality/valueBearing in mind that there were no completed studies on public perception of police behaviors about the COVID-19 disaster in Serbia, the research has a considerable scientific and social importance.
