УТИЦАЈ АКУТНОГ МЕНТАЛНОГ СТРЕСА НА ПЕРФОРМАНСЕ ГАЂАЊА: ИМПЛИКАЦИЈЕ НА ОБУКУ ПРИПАДНИКА БЕЗБЕДНОСНИХ СЛУЖБИ Бојан Јанковић Криминалистичко-полицијски универзитет у Београду Владимир М. Цветковић Универзитет у Београду, Факултет безбедности Горан Вучковић, Саша Милојевић Криминалистичко-полицијски универзитет у Београду У раду је анализирана повезаност акутног менталног стреса и перформанси гађања из службеног пиштоља ЦЗ 99. Резултати истраживања показују да не постоји статистички значајна повезаност између срчане фреквенције са перформансама гађања. Повишена ср- чана фреквенција код испитаника при гађању, указује да су испитани- ци током гађања доживели акутни ментални стрес. Резултати истра- живања показују да би приликом обуке припадника безбедносних слу- жби, поред техничког, тактичког и физичког аспекта, требало посвети- ти више пажње улози и значају менталног стреса.   Кључне речи: акутни стрес, пиштољ, перформансе гађања, без- бедносне службе, истраживање Увод Обављање полицијских послова у савременом безбедносном амбијенту носи са собом низ стресних ситуација. Због нивоа интензитета стреса које производе код полицијских службеника, као и због њихове временске учесталости полициј- ски рад се може сврстати у групу најстреснијих послова (Garbarino et al., 2012; Ra- mey, Downing, Franke, Perkhounkova, & Alasagheirin, 2012). Поред акутног стреса који полицијски службеници доживљавају током критичних инцидената, свакодневни рад укључује реаговање на позиве грађана који имају различите проблеме и налазе се у тешким животним ситуацијама. Такви контакти често производе емоционално преоп- терећење код полицијских службеника и могу бити потенцијални извори хроничног стреса, који се може акумулирати и имати значајан утицај на полицијске службенике током времена (Hickman, Fricas, Strom, & Pope, 2011; Mella & Boutin, 2014). Резултати појединих истраживања показују да постоји јака веза између стреса и кардиоваску- ларних болести и дужине радног стажа полицијског службеника, односно […]

The Assessment of Public Health Capacities at Local Self-Governments in Serbia

Cvetković, V.M., Tanasić, J.; Ocal, A., Živković-Šulović, M., Ćurić, N., Milojević, S., Knežević, S. (2023). The Assessment of Public Health Capacities at Local Self-Governments in Serbia. Lex Localis, 21(4), 1201-1234. The Assessment of Public Health Capacities at Local Self-governments in Serbia Vladimir M. Cvetković, Jasmina Tanasić, Adem Öcal, Mirjana Živković- Šulović, Nedeljko Ćurić, Stefan Milojević & Snežana Knežević Abstract The objective of this quantitative study was to examine the impact of selected factors on the level and state of public health capacities in local self-government units in 2021. This survey included 77 out of 145 local self-government units in the Republic of Serbia and examined six dimensions defined by the Law on Public Health. The results of the Pearson correlation showed that there were statistically significant correlations between the effectiveness of the realized program budget and microbiologically defective drinking water samples from the so-called village water supply systems, defective samples of drinking water from public taps, unsatisfactory analyses of wastewater samples, and the number of mandated fines issued. The results of the logistic regression model showed that the local self-government units that received assistance from the Standing Conference of Towns and Municipalities were 5.6 times more likely to perform analyses of their health status.

Relations between police and private security officers: A case study of Serbia

Janković, B., Cvetković, V. M., Milojević, S., & Ivanović, Z. (2021). Relations between police and private security officers: A case study of Serbia. Security Journal. https://doi.org/10.1057/s41284-020-00236-z Relations between police and private security officers: a case study of Serbia Bojan Janković1 · Vladimir M. Cvetković2 · Saša Milojević1 · Zvonimir Ivanović1 Accepted: 23 February 2021 © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Limited 2021 Abstract In the last few years, under the influence of various circumstances, the demand for the private security industry has increased in Serbia. The aim of this research is to examine the extent and quality of cooperation between members of the public and private security sector as the mutual perception of its members because their rela- tions are important for establishing a safe environment for citizens. The survey was conducted from February to June 2019 using a questionnaire among 190 police officers and 178 security personnel. The results of this research showed that mutual relations between the private security personnel and police officers are satisfactory, but also that members of private security look at these relations from a brighter side and have a very positive attitude towards members of the police, while members of the police view these relations more negatively. The results of this research can be used for planning campaigns to improve the relationships between police officers and security personnel. Keywords Private security · Police · Perceptions · Relations · Survey · Serbia Introduction Modern societies are facing new sources and forms of personal and property security endangerment of citizens (Cvetković et al. 2020; Goyal 2019; Kaur 2020; Xuesong and Kapucu 2019). To satisfy the human need for the sense of security, there has been an increase in demand for services traditionally provided by state authorities, primarily the police (Cvetković and Janković 2020; Janković and Cvetković 2020). Resulting from the inability to meet […]

Prediction model of effective studies at the Academy of Criminalistics and Police Studies

Milojević, S., Janković, B., & Cvetković, V. (2014). Prediction model of effective studies at the Academy of Criminalistics and Police Studies. NBP – Journal of Criminalistics and Law, 135–149. PREDICTION MODEL OF EFFECTIVE STUDIES AT THE ACADEMY OF CRIMINALISTIC AND POLICE STUDIES1 Sasa Milojevic2 Bojan Jankovic3 Vladimir Cvetkovic4 Academy of Criminalistic and Police Studies, Belgrade Summary: The paper deals with the connection between the input characteristics of students of the Academy of Criminalistic and Police Studies in Belgrade related to the acquired and inherited values and effective studying. Data collection was performed using the questionnaire technique on a sample of 120 students and the logic regression method. The questionnaire comprised 11 closed questions, 10 relating to predictor variables (gender, high school, success in high school, place in which it was finished, going in for sport, respondent’s family and financial situation, whether a member of the family is employed by the Ministry of Interior and the course of studies), and one relating to the criterion variable (studying without repeating years). The results of logic regression showed that the overall model explains between 40.4% and 55.7% of variance in the status of effective studying, and it correctly classified 83.6% of cases. Only five predictor variables provided a unique statistically significant contribution to the model. The paper proved that if a student had a specific set of inherited and acquired characteristics, probability that he/she would study effectively is significantly   This paper is the result of the research on project: “Management of police organization in preventing and mitigating threats to security in the Republic of Serbia“, which is financed and carried out by the Academy of Criminalistic and Police Studies, Belgrade – the cycle of scientific projects 2015-2019.
