... education and research are without any doubt closely connected and it would be difficult to imagine a highly developed criminological research setting in a country that at least to some extent does not offer specialized criminological education. For determining the educational setting in the Balkans the country mappings on the one hand described the levels, subjects and range of education provided (see Table 4) and on the other hand identified the key actors offering criminological education (see Table 3). ...Similar publications
In the Balkans, contact with gays and lesbians is typically hostile or avoided. Drawing from probability samples of young people from five Balkan countries (N = 1046), we examined whether it is possible to transfer the effects of contact with other marginalized outgroups (largest ethnic minority in every country, Roma, the extremely poor and physic...

This paper aims to analyze the economic performance of Balkan countries in comparison to the European Union (EU) average, with the objective of assessing the convergence of Balkan nations toward the EU during the period 2000–2019. The economic variables under consideration encompass per capita income, the corruption perception index (CPI), salary l...
Our studies included some autochthonous and regional grape varieties grown in the Republic of North Macedonia. The autochthonous varieties were examined - White winter, Konchanka, Stanushina, Ohrid black and Ohrid white, and the regional varieties - Vranec, Prokupec, Smederevka, Zilavka and Zupljanka were examined. The tests were divided into three...

The Balkans may very well be considered a criminological space sui generis . As a whole, the region shares more common traits internally than it does externally towards its European context. Therefore, it is necessary to explain the region’s particularities, as relevant for understanding (lethal) violence and criminological research more generally speaking. The purpose of this chapter is to embed the BHS and its key findings in their Balkan-specific historical, religious, legal, and criminal justice context, while providing insights into the region’s criminological research setting. After having read through this chapter, one should be able to understand not only the challenges but also the benefits of conducting criminological research in the Balkans. One should thus be able to mentally explore the region as a kind of criminologically uncharted territory in order to map its full potential for the further study of crime and harmful behavior – both, with regard to homicide research and countless other criminological topics. Doing empirical research in and on the Balkans is in practice extremely challenging and exhausting, as we shall see, but at the same time proves to be tremendously rewarding, especially if one considers research to be an adventure and oneself a discoverer.
Abstract. Comparative criminology is becoming a topical trend in the modern globalized
world. The authors present definitions, methods of comparative criminology,
they discuss the organizations and agencies that are involved in comparative criminological research. They also show the relevance of conducting international, regional,
continental comparative criminological research. It is believed that the goal of comparative
criminology is not just the collection of statistical material in several countries,
but rather the development of mutually dependent criminological theories.
The goals of research conducted within the framework of comparative criminology
are, primarily, the extension of criminological theories beyond cultural and national
boundaries, the assessment of the national systems of criminal justice and national
criminal policies, as well as the coordination of efforts in counteracting transnational
crime. As for the methodology of research within the framework of comparative
criminology, the authors describe the use of micro-, macro- and meta-analysis. The
topics of comparative criminological research are dictated by globalization. In particular,
the following topics are relevant: the legality of the work of law enforcement and
criminal justice bodies, human rights and some new forms of crime — with an emphasis
on environmental protection, consumer rights, food security, as well as cybercrime.
The authors present examples of relevant research in comparative criminology
at the global, continental and regional levels. Books in comparative criminology, as
well as research journals, are mainly published in English, but national criminology
textbooks, as rule, summarize the results of comparative criminological research, so
some material in criminology textbooks could, in fact, be categorized as comparative
criminology. The authors then describe the problems that hinder the development of
comparative criminology in Russia. On the whole, the task of the authors is to present
the instruments of comparative criminology to Russian researchers, which could
contribute to the development of comparative criminological studies in Russia.
Criminology and in more general terms ‘crime research’ have a very long tradition in Croatia, dating back in terms of formal institutionalization as far as 1906, when the Chair for Criminal-Complementary Sciences and Sociology at the Zagreb Faculty of Law was established. Despite criminology’s long institutional tradition in Croatia, criminology as a serious and independent research discipline started rather late to take off in Croatia in a systematic manner. The article presents basic facts and figures about Croatian criminology, crime and criminal justice, providing a solid overview of the complex country situation, which is still struggling with many transitional challenges. Croatia, like many other countries in the region, does not seem to have a ‘conventional crime problem’ and does not fit the profile of a ‘high crime region’ when compared with the rest of Europe, but it struggles with corruption and organized crime, and it still has to deal with atrocious crimes from the recent past and the far-reaching consequences of war profiteering and criminal ‘privatization’.
