Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction : Overcoming Barriers to Build Stronger Communities
Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction (CBDRR) plays a vital role in strengthening local communities’
resilience against natural hazards and man-made disasters. This paper aims to examine the role of CBDRR
in enhancing the resilience of local communities to both natural hazards and man-made disasters. It empha-
sises the crucial importance of active community involvement throughout all stages of disaster management,
from preparedness and mitigation to response and recovery. Furthermore, the paper also looks into the key
factors that contribute to the successful implementation of CBDRR, including institutional support, capaci-
ty development, inclusive strategies, and modern technologies. Additionally, it discusses the challenges and
opportunities in building strong partnerships between local communities and external stakeholders, which
are essential for ensuring the sustainability of these efforts. Finally, the paper offers recommendations to improve the effectiveness of CBDRR initiatives, drawing on insights gained from past disaster experiences. The
findings highlight the necessity of continuous monitoring and evaluation of CBDRR programmes to maintain
their relevance and effectiveness as risks evolve. Incorporating lessons learned from past disasters into future
planning also plays a crucial role in helping communities strengthen their resilience over time. Ultimately,
by fostering collaboration between communities, governments, and various organisations, CBDRR lays the
foundation for a comprehensive disaster management framework capable of meeting future challenges and
supporting long-term sustainable development
Prevention of Intimate Partner Femicide in the Republic of Serbia
Предмет овог рада је анализа делотворности мера које надлежне институције Републике Србије предузимају с циљем превенције убистава жена од стране мушкараца приликом вршења насиља у интимно-партнерским односима. Фемицид је најтежи облик родно заснованог насиља, а број убијених жена од стране партнера у току или након завршетка брачног, ванбрачног или другог интимно-партнерског односа представља глобалан друштвени проблем који погађа већину држава у свету. Савет Европе је с циљем превенције насиља у породици на подручју европ ских држава усвојио 2011. године Истанбулску конвенцију. Мада се текст Конвенције односи на превенцију и заштиту свих жртава насиља у породици, главни циљ њеног доношења била је превенција родно заснованог насиља над женама и њихова заштита. Србија је, након ратификовања Конвенције, 2016. године усвојила посебан закон који је разрадио њене одредбе и прописао проактиван начин рада надлежних органа заснован на процени и упра вљању ризиком од насиља у породици од првог сазнања о учињеном насиљу, као и након сазнања да до насиља може доћи уколико насиље није вршено у прошлости. Главне циљеве поступања надлежних органа могли бисмо дефинисати на следећи начин: осна живање жртава како бисмо их подстакли да пријаве насиље, а то подразумева повећање поверење жртава у полицију и друге надлежне институције с циљем смањивања тамне бројке; заштита жртава од поновљеног насиља и спречавање наступања најтежих последица, наношења телесних повреда и лишење живота жртве; решавање проблема уклањањем узрока насиља, што подразумева и забрану приласка учиниоца жртви и забрану контакта. У раду су приказани резултати истраживања које је обухватило све евидентиране догађаје интимно-партнерског насиља у Србији у којима је извршен фемицид након почетка приме не Закона о спречавању насиља у породици, у седмогодишњем периоду од 2018. До 2024. године. Детаљно је анализирано седам случајева убистава жена у којима је полиција имала сазнања о учињеном насиљу у породици пре извршења убиства.This paper analyses the effectiveness of measures taken by the competent institutions of the Republic of Serbia to prevent the killing of women by men in the context of intimate partner violence. Femicide is the most severe form of gender-based violence, and the number of women killed by their partners during or after the end of a marital, non-marital, or other intimate relationship is a global social problem affecting most countries. In 2011, the Council of Europe adopted the Istanbul Convention to prevent domestic violence in European countries. Although the Convention addresses the prevention and protection of all victims of domestic violence, its main objective is to prevent gender-based violence against women and ensure their protection. After ratifying the Convention, Serbia adopted a special law in 2016 that elaborated on its provisions and introduced a proactive approach for competent authorities, based on risk assessment and risk management of domestic violence from the moment of first awareness of violence, as well as in cases where there is a risk of future violence, even if it has not occurred previously. The main objectives of the competent authorities' actions can be defined as follows: empowering victims and encouraging them to report violence, which includes increasing the victims' trust in the police and other institutions to reduce the dark figure of crime; protecting the victims from repeated violence and preventing the most severe outcomes, such as bodily harm and loss of life; and addressing the root causes of violence, including restraining orders and no-contact orders against perpetrators. The paper presents the results of a study that covered all recorded cases of intimate partner femicide in Serbia during the seven-year period following the implementation of the Law on Prevention of Domestic Violence, from 2018 to 2024. A random sample of seven cases in which women were killed by their intimate partners was selected and thoroughly analysed. These women had previously reported violence to the police, which resulted in emergency measures taken against the perpetrators. The results showed a significant decline in intimate partner femicide in Serbia after the adoption of the Law on Prevention of Domestic Violence. However, the analysed femicide cases revealed certain shortcomings in the work of competent authorities, indicating that multisectoral cooperation in preventing domestic violence—and thus violence against women by intimate partners—can be significantly improved in the future. The author concludes that the functioning of coordination and cooperation groups can be considerably enhanced to better protect victims
The Effectiveness of Police Forces Through Centuries: The Evolution of Training Process in Contemporary Social Context
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 spe-
cial 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
Causes and manifestations of homicide resulting from domestic violence in the Republic of Serbia
У раду су представљени резултати истраживања у вези с наступањем смртне последице услед извршења насиља у породици у Србији од 2018. до 2022. године. Циљ је ефикасније и ефективније реаговање надлежних државних органа у супротстављању насиљу у породици. У погледу природе и опсега истраживања наглашавамо да је оно обухватило: карактер предмета који су коришћени приликом убиства, место извршења, породични однос учиниоца и жртве, мере које су предузимали представници државних органа, анализу узрока лишења живота члана породице, број извршених самоубистава након учињеног убиства и појавне облике извршених убистава. Коришћени су: статистичка метода на нивоу дескриптивне статистике, метод студије случаја, метод анализе садржаја и формално-логички метод. Утврђено је да примена pre-crime концепта даје одређене позитивне резултате који се огледају у смањењу броја лица лишених живота при извршењу насиља у породици. Међутим, примећујемо негативну тенденцију повећања броја убистава када је реч о учиниоцима/повратницима који су у ранијем периоду пријављивани за насиље у породици због чега се може довести у питање ефективност поступања надлежних државних органа.As for the nature and scope of the research, we emphasize that it included: the nature of the objects used in cases involving homicide; crime scene; family relationships between the perpetrator and the victim; measures taken by state authorities; analysis of the causes of depriving family members of their lives; the number of suicides following the cases of homicide, and types of homicides. The methods used include primarily the statistical method, at the level of descriptive statistics; case study method; content analysis method, and formal-logical method. It has been found that the application of the pre-crime concept gives certain positive results that are related to our research problem. They are reflected in the reduced number of victims deprived of their lives as a result of domestic violence. On the other hand, however, we notice a negative tendency of an increased number of homicides in the events involving perpetrators/repeat offenders who were previously reported due to domestic violence, which may bring into question the effectiveness in the acting of the competent state authorities

Use of New Technologies in the Field of Protection and Rescue During Disasters
Nowadays, dealing with natural disasters is becoming more and more challenging due to climate changes that lead to more frequent and intense natural disasters.
Traditional protection and rescue methods are often not sufficient to meet all the challenges posed by these disasters. Therefore, the integration of new technologies becomes
crucial for more effective risk management. Research of various aspects use of modern
technologies in prevention, detection, response and restoration, in the context of natural disasters, it is necessary to focus on innovative approaches. By using artificial intelligence (AI), drones, sensor technologies, advanced communication systems, and the
NICS system (Next-Generation Incident Command System), the goals of protecting civilian populations, reducing damage and improving the efficiency of rescue operations
are achieved. Since 2016, the ARCECP Project (Advanced Regional Civil Emergency
Coordination Pilot Project) has enabled the partner countries of the Western Balkans
to acquire, implement and adapt the NICS system, in strengthening the capacity of
emergency response and management in the region. The NICS system has partially
taken root in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), and this paper will mostly refer to the
implementation of the application in BiH and recommendations for its development at
all levels of the BiH government. Through the analysis of existing case studies and the
application of new technologies, the work identifies key success factors, challenges and
potential directions for future development in this area
Homicides in the Context of Intimate Partner Violence in Serbia : Manifestations and Victim Protection
Predmet rada su pojavni oblici ubistava u intimno partnerskim odnosima i mere
koje nadležne institucije preduzimaju u cilju zaštite žrtava u Republici Srbiji.
Ratifikovanjem Istanbulske konvencije, usvajanjem i primenom Zakona o sprečavanju
nasilja u porodici, nadležni organi imaju obavezu proaktivnog postupanja, odnosno
delovanja prema izvoru problema (mogućem učiniocu) i pre činjenja incidenta - vršenja
akta nasilja. Primena ‘pre crime’ koncepta, odnosno, procenjivanje rizika od činjenja
nasilja u porodici u neposrednoj budućnosti, je postala obaveza policije, javnog tužilaštva
i suda. U radu su prikazani rezultati istraživanja koje je tokom 2023. godine urađeno za
potrebe ovog rada, a koje je obuhvatilo sve evidentirane događaje partnerskog nasilja
u Srbiji u kojima je u periodu od 2018. do 2022. godine lišen života emotivni partner/ka
od strane drugog partnera/partnerke. U cilju analize postupanja nadležnih institucija
koje deluju u okviru grupa za koordinaciju i saradnju opisan je jedan slučaj femicida
kojem je prethodilo višegodišnje intimno partnersko nasilje. U prikazanom slučaju, žrtva
je lišena života od strane intimnog partnera kojeg je prethodno više puta prijavljivala
za nasilje i proganjanje. Cilj rada je prikazivanje rezultata sprovedenog istraživanja i
kontekstualizacija intimnog partnerskog nasilja, utvrđivanje prisustva partnerskog
femicida u Srbiji i ocena efikasnosti i efektnosti nadležnih organa, odnosno delotvornost
mera preduzetih u cilju obezbeđivanja bezbednosti žrtve. Zaključeno je da se poverenje u
policiju, pravosudne organe i centar za socijalni rad ne može steći ukoliko se po saznanju
da postoji opasnost od nasilja u porodici ne uspostavi blagovremena, adekvatna,
delotvorna i potpuna zaštita žrtava u svim slučajevima kada se prijavi nasilje u porodici.The paper focuses on instances of homicide in intimate partner relationships and
the measures taken by competent institutions to protect victims in the Republic of Serbia.
The
paper
aims
to
present
the
results
of
the
conducted
research
and
to
contextualise
intimate
partner
violence,
as
well
as
to
determine
the
presence
of
intimate
femicide
in
Serbia.
Following
the
ratification
of
the
Istanbul
Convention,
as
well
as
the
adoption
and
implementation
of
the
Law
on the
Prevention
of
Domestic
Violence,
the
competent
authorities
are
under
the
obligation
to
act
proactively,
that
is,
acting
towards
the
source
of
the
problem
even
before
an
incident,
i.e.
an
act
of
violence
occurs.
Applying
the
precrime
concept,
i.e.
assessing
the
risk
of
domestic
violence
has
become
an
obligation
of
the
police.
The
paper
presents
the
results
of
research
done
in
2023
that
included
reported
occurrences
of
partner
violence
in
Serbia
in
the
period
from
2018
to
2022,
in
which
an
emotional
partner
was
deprived
of
life.
The
research
focused
on the
manifestations
of
homicide,
perpetrators
and
victims,
manner
of
execution,
the
means
of
perpetration,
suicides
committed
by
the
perpetrators
of
murders,
as
well
as
actions
of
the
police
and
judicial
authorities
when
violence
was
reported
in
the
previous
period.
The
results
of
the
research
show
that
the
perpetrators
of
homicide
in
partner
relationships
are
most
frequently
men,
while
the
victims
are
most
often
women;
homicide
is
most
commonly
committed
after
the
termination
of
an
emotional
relationship
using
a sharp
object
or
firearms,
and
46%
of
the
perpetrators
in
homicide
cases
decide
to
commit
suicide.
Murders
are
usually
preceded
by
a threat,
as
well
as
long-term
violence
that
the
victim
frequently
fails
to
report
to
the
competent
authorities.
To
analyse
the
actions
of
the
competent
institutions
operating
within
coordination
and
cooperation
groups,
a case
of
femicide
is
described
that
occurred
after
years
of
intimate
partner
violence.
In
the
presented
case,
the
victim
was
deprived
of
her
life
by
an
emotional
partner,
whom
she
had
previously
repeatedly
reported
for
violence
and
stalking.
At
the
end
of
the
paper,
the
author
concludes
that
trust
in
the
police,
judicial
authorities
and
social
work
centres
cannot
be
built
unless,
upon
becoming
aware
of
the
threat
of
domestic
violence,
timely,
appropriate,
efficient
and
comprehensive
protection
of
the
victims
is
ensured
