Summary: We have analyzed application of process law norms created
inorder to eliminate from the penal procedure such juveniles forwhom there
exist no basis for penal procedure, or criminalcharges as well as the
influence of certain factors on the choiceof penal sanctions. Regarding the
theritory and the type of thecriminal acts the decisions of public
prosecutors have beenanalysed, with the particular emphasize on the
decisions ofpublic prosecutors and the council for juveniles in the
relationof criminal behaviour and the type of sanctions. For less than50%
of juveniles, public prosecutors propose to the council forjuveniles some
sanctions such as educational measure. Theintensity of selection is almost
equal to the one made after thepreparation procedure is completed.
Comparison of the selectionintensity in different districts showed that
there existsignificant differences, which are not based on the structure
andcriminal intensity. The results of investigation of selectivemechanisms
in the penal procedure showed that it is necessary todiscuss the way and
the extent of penal sanctions toward juveniledelinquent. The relations
between the type of the crime and thetype of sanctions show that the
severity of crime influences in agreat extent the court verdict whether to
apply institutional ornoninstitutional sanctions. If further investigations
will showthat more severe delicts, especially those with violent
modalityshow higher correlations with the lower educational prognosess,than
the observed connection between the abstract severity of thecrime on the
one side and the type of the sanction on the otherside could be positively
marked.

Summary: Traffic delict is a negative social event, which has to
beeliminated. Prerequistic of the effectiveness of each takenaction is
understanding basic elements of this concept. In orderto accomplish this,
the concept of traffic delict should beexplained in more details, which
wasn't case in earlierinvestigations of traffic accidents. This paper is
presenting thestructural analysis of this concept, based on the general
andcommon features. Specific and cluster concept as well as
theirdefinition, division and application were discussed. Basicconcepts of
the traffic delicts are: endangering traffic safety,particular ambient and
the traffic system. This represents thebasis for further classification and
specialization of theconcept and more detailed analyse of particular types.
This couldalso give the opportunity to create specefic morphology in
theinvestigation of particular categories of traffic morphology inthe
investigation of particular categories of traffic delicti. Atthe same time
facts from this investigations can be used in orderfields, primarily in
penal law.

Summary: The initial hypothesis of this paper was that the
delinquentpersonality and it's behaviour can't be explained if taken out
ofit's environmental influence. The influence of the demographicand
sociological characteristics has been discussed within thecontext of
sociological nature of such behaviour, regardless ofthe possible
etiological basis which lies in the specificpathological personality
constellation. Elements of thesociodemographic characteristics have been
discussed in details,as well as some demographic and sociological studies
of violentbehaviour. Results of such constellation are: characteristics
ofthe system of demographic and sociological traits in personsshowing
violating behaviour can be distinguished according to theextent of their
connection with violent crime, age, sex, maritalstatus, family status,
permanent residence, time period, regionalcharacteristics, physical
environment, etc. When demographic andsociological determinants of violent
behaviour are studied it isnecessary to analyse socio-economic status,
primary micro andmacro social environment, educational level, work
socialisation,inclination to alcohol and other. Elements of demographic
andsociological structure of violent behaviour are also important;behaviour
isn't direct consequence of any of these elements, it'setiological
relevance has to be regarded within the complex of"socio factors" and
broader, with the necessity of analysing thestructural influence of
"bio-psycho" factors.

foreigninvestigation which are discussing the connection
betweendifficulties in schooling and juvenile delinquency.
Thisinvestigations are stressing out the positive connection
betweenschooling success and crime of children and youth. Or in other
words obvious behaviour disturbances, more difficult modalitiesand more
frequent delinquent activities, will disturb theschooling success of
juvenile delinquents. This paper alsopresents some invastigations which are
pointing out higher andlower connection between particular family
circumstances andschooling difficulties. Particular attention was given to
thecharacteristics of theritory, while investigations mostly confirmthesis
that the disturbances of schooling in general haveterritorial distribution

Summary: A modern and efficacious internal revenue service
isunthinkable without an appropriate information system based onadequate
information equipment. This has been shown by thedevelopment of internal
revenue services in the developedcountries of the world. Only through the
elaboration of a uniforminformation system at the level of the republic as
a whole is itpossible to create an internal revenue service that will be
ableto fulfil its tasks. Such an information system would consist oftwo
functionally linked subsystems (private individuals and legalentities) and
of a subsystem of commune and distict internalrevenue services. At the
commune or district level internalrevenue services would keep the bulk of
records of data ontaxpayers (data on revenues, profits, incomes, property,
taxreliefs and exemptions, dependent family members, etc.) and theirtax
obligations. The republication internal revenue service wouldmainly keep
syntethic data and of this system should be theregistration numbers of
individuals and legal entities. Such aninformation system would be linked
with the information system atthe commune level (if such has been
established), the informationsystem of the Board of Customs, the
information system of theMinistry of Internal Affairs, the information
system of theauditing service, which will, when it has been established,
alsosupervise legal entites, and other information systems (of funds,etc.).
In the transitional period the solution will lie in thecreation of a
financial or internal revenue service which willhave broad powers,
especially in respect of indirect fiscal
obligations (sales tax, customs duties, etc.),

Summary: The aim of this investigation of changes in canonic
relations ofsocioeconomic characteristics and crime among persons of age
inCroatia in the period from 1968 to 1986., was to estimate thequality and
quantity of connections between latent dimensions ofsocioeconomic
development and the most important variables ofcriminal behaviour. The
hypothetical frame expected that 1)indicators of the development and the
types of criminal behaviourin a particular social environments can be
statisticaly expressedas pair of highly and significantly connected canonic
variablesand 2) the nature of such relations is not significantly
changingin function of time, even in the circumstances of significantsocial
changes. Data that were obtained during this period oftime are presented in
19 tables, each consisting pairs of canonicvariables of the development and
crime, and their correlationswith attached determination coeficient. This
investigationundoubtedly showed that between the social development and
crimethere exist significant and high correlation. The connectionbetween
key indicators of the socioeconomic development andproperty crime is
particualry obvious. Other forms of crime,particualry those consisting of
higher personal determination(destructive criminal acts, which base are the
aggressivepersonality tendencies) are not explained well enough in
choosedcluster of developmental variables. The social determination
oftraffic delicti is unclear, because the obtained data only pointout the
material side of the problem, or in orther words theconnection of the
development and the possibility of individualto obtain a vehicle. Among all
types of crime that were analysed,sexual crime is the type of crime that
isn't explained wellenough. This is so because in it's formation a great
influencebelongs to personality factors. The second reason is the fact
thabecause of environmental attitudes and inconsistent penal policy,such
crimes are rarely registered and punished. Some suggestionsfor further
investigation have also been offered. It has beenfound that the statistical
data collection on the municipal levelshould be improved (particualry in
cases of indicators of socialand cultural development). In that way more
clear picture aboutsocial mechanisms that are increasing the probability
ofdelinquent behaviour will be obtained. Authors have alsosuggested that
possible further investigation could clear theinteractive influence of
macrosocial, microsocial and personalfactors in criminal behaviour's
creating.

Summary: This paper is a survey of the development of expert
andscientific cognitions and conceptions of recidivism from thelegal,
criminal and penal aspects. Although partly a criminalactivity, this social
phenomenon is dealt with separetly becauseof its specific characteristics,
especialy its dangerousness fora society and characteristics of its
"protagonists". The authoris analysing numerous and rather different
understandings andconceptions of this negative social phenomenon that have
as aconsequence certain legislative, criminal and political solutionsaimed
at its prevention and elimination. Using the results ofsome recept
researches done in Croatia and abroad, she iscritical towards the view
points of some authors and legislatorsand in particular favours certain
forms of social reaction torecidivism.

Summary: This article tries to evaluate the constancy of some
minorcharacteristics in the Republic of Croatia. The authors analysedthe
type of offences and particular socio-demographic andcriminological
variables. They expected greater deviations fromthe usual situation since
the research was based on the under agepopulation (N=4667) registrated with
the Public Prosecutorsduring the critical war year (1991). However, those
deviationsdidn't manifest themselves. The participation of girls
wasrelatively twice as little as it used to be. But there wasnoticed a
higher degree of risk than minors could endanger humanlife and property and
commit both offences against public safetyand violent crimes.

Summary: The structure and rate of violence in Croatia are examined
on thebasis of data relating to persons charged with violent actswithin
theree (1975-1978) and five (1975-1991) years periods.Taking into account a
stage of crime accomplishment, theintensity of criminal activity, and a
victim's sex and age, theauthors consider common characteristics of violent
crimescommited by minors, and majors. The observed sample comprisesconvicts
of: murder, man-slaughter, incitement to suicide,causing physical injures,
taking part in a browl, child rape andabuse, sex offence, robbery, assault
on an official and violentconduct in prison. Finally, there are also
analysed the followingcrime relevant variables: place, time, means,
circumstances, theoffender's signs of alcohol intoxication, residence,
accomplices,the victim's behaviour and injuries he suffered as well as
theprevious offender's sentences.

Summary: This paper presents the extent, trends and structures of
crimescommitted by minors and adults on the teritory of the Republic
ofCroatia in 1992. According to the data collected by the NationalInstitute
of Statistics, the authors analyse a representativesample of the population
being prosecuted for criminal offences.However, they draw attention to the
various sources ofinformation on criminal behaviour (in our country and
abroad),their reliability and limited validity. The crime trends areclosely
examined in the five-year period 1988-1992. withparticular attention to the
facts and figures registrated in1991. As to 1992., this study finds out
that the number ofreported known and not known young and old criminal
offenders ison the important and adrupt increase. Besides, there is
perceivedthat the increase intensity fluctuates in various Croatianregions
(covered by fourteen District Courts). The authors alsonote relatively high
rate of unidentified criminal offenders aswell as continuous growth of
their absolute number, which can bea warning for crime detection
departments to check up theirpersonnel and the way they are organised. The
structure of trendsin crime is considered with regard to violent offences
(againstpublic order and property) and breaches of official duties. Evenin
those cases there are remarkable oscilations between 1992. and1991.
Regarding war and post-war situation in 1992, the findingsare not
sufficient to support the hypothesis that there is alarge increase in
criminal offences in Croatia nowadays.

Summary: This paper is based on the presumption that there will
besignificant changes in crime structure, types and manner ofcrimes, social
and demographic features of offenders and theirrecidivism, although the
number of caught and reported juveniledelinquents increased in 1992. This
hypothesis is tested by theelaboration of the basis of the CONTAB programme
and bycomparison of the results obtained with the identical ones
forprevious periods. Among the number of interesting information onjuvenile
delinquents in comparison with the former long period,the increase of the
proportion of offenders against property andthose who live in urban centres
has been observed. On the otherside, the proportion of sexual offenders, as
well as theproportion of persons who commit crimes against life and
body,and proportions of girls, children and recidivists havedecreased.
Those and other changes established in the juveniledelinquenacy structure
have been considered in the context ofimportant macro-social changes in the
Republic of Croatia,especially tha war and it's consequences.

by average inteligence,cultural deprivation, emotional instability and
immaturity,self-centerdness, primitivness, social immaturity,
passevness,neurosis and tendency to depression. The analysis of the
passivsocial status of the persons suggests deficiency of socialcontact

Summary: This paper reviews certain distinguishing features of
juveniledelinquency connected with violence in the Republic of Croatia.The
authors analyse the relationships between various violentcrimes and three
groups of variables: social and demographicparticularities of adolescent
offenders, crime patterns andrecidivism. They examined a sample (n=273) of
juveniledelinquents (less than 18 years of age) charged of violentoffences
commited in 1991 (according to Public Prosecutors'Offices). The data are
considered in the war context conformablyto the CONTAB (Zlobec, Varga,
Momirović) programme. The findingsindicate less than a half of examined
delinquents committedviolent crimes and robberies, one third of them
behaved violentlyand obstructed officials to perform their duty, one
fifthcommitted sexual offences, homicides and took part in brawls,street
fights etc. The results of the analysis chiefly confirmthe authors'
hypotheses. It is obviously that homicideperpertrators and sexual offenders
have something in common. Theyusually live in small towns, commit a crime
only once and as arule they do not have previous police record. On the
contrary,violent crime and robbery offenders are more often
urbanadolescents-recidivists known to the police. In the light of
thefindings the authors anticipate future juvenile violent
crimecharacteristics and propose some countermeasures (i.e.
betterpreventive programmes) emphasizing care for adolescents at riskto
become offenders.

Summary: The purpose of this study is to examine certain features
ofjuvenile delinquency in Croatia. The autor explains relationsbetween some
property offences and three groups of variables: a) socio-demographic
characteristics of juvenile offenders; b) models of criminal operations; c)
recidivism. On the basis ofthe prosecutorial offeces data (Croatia, 1991.),
the analysisfocuses on the sample of 3936 property offenders younger than
18years. The analysis was carried out conformably to CONTABprogramme
(Zlobec, Varga, Momirović). Though the author'shypothesis provided mainly
justified some particularities can bediscussed: property crime recedivism
is more frequent phenomenonthan it is the juvenile delinquency recidivism
itself; there is arelatively double rate of serious thefts in respect to
larceny;there is a relatively half the number of girl-offenders but
theiroffences are socially more dangerous than they used to be. Thesefacts
are considered in the context of the present socialsituation and with
intention both to invisage the peculiaritiesof future property offences and
give some suggestions about theirprevention.

Summary: The author analyses relations among seven
juvenilesociodemographic features and forms of their criminal
behaviour,with special emphasis on crimes against property, on two
samples(N1=2734, N2=661) of juveniles sanctioned in the Republic ofCroatia
in the period between 1990. and 1992. Following the datagiven in
contingency tables the author finds only three out ofthe total of 14 pairs
of variables: juveniles age and type of themain crime, whether parents are
alive or dead and the type of themain crime, juvenile school background and
the type of the maincrime. Statistically no significant relations
betweensociodemographic features and some crimes against property havebeen
found. The author considers these results in the overallethiological and
phenomenological mechanism. The author ascribeschanges in the criminal
behaviour structure to the dynamic anddialectic complex of many factors,
but specially to the actualwar situation and it's numerous and various
repercussions.

Summary: The survey presents an analysis of trends in juvenile
delinquencyin Croatia during the periods 1986-1990. and 1984-1988.
Theobtained data suggest that four fifths of young offenderscommitted
crimes against property. In comparison with the minorsbetween 14-16 years
of age, older minors (16-18) are more oftenthe perpetrators of other crimes
than property ones. The treatedadolescents, living only with one parent,
represent mainly theoffenders against private dignity and morality. Illegal
actsagainst public peace and order, against life, bodily harms etc.are
committed by young people usually in urban area, namely intheir dwelling
spaces. On the other band the socio-economic andtraffic offences are more
frequent in rural areas. It is obviousthat the preventive measures should
be taken to help childrenbelonging to critical groups in their early age.
That means thatspecial attention is to be payed to the way of life
andparticulary the spare time of minors living with one parent inrisky
areas.

Summary: This paper gives an analysis of general drift of
perpetuators ina 10-year period on the teritory of Croatia in the relation
tothe districts and to the regions of local authorities for 14district
courts. The teritorial differences were interpretedaccording to the type of
crime in general, and especially inregard to the type of delict related to
property and life andbody violations. The intensity of delinquent's crimes,
the casesof accomplice, and crime recidivism were observed in relation
tothe type of criminal activities, the property offence and lifeand body
violations. The crime distribution was analysed due tothe extent of
urbanization of the place where the crime had beencommited. The place was
defined as a residence of district court,a centre of municipal court and,
at the same time was not a scatof the court. Also, a number of known
perpetuators was in adecline, and with regard to the observed modalities of
crimethere existed significant differences relevant for the creationof
different strategy in crime prevention.

Summary: Under the model of canonic correlation analysis and under
themodel of canonic correlation covariance analysis there have beenanalysed
the relations between the factor of socioeconomicdevelopment and juvenile
delinquent behaviour, on the sample of100 municipalities in Croatia in
1986. The factors of thesocioeconomic development have been collected in a
previouscomponent analysis obtained from the statistical
investigationprogram. These factors have been identified as 1) the
developmentof trade and catering, 2) population density, 3)
agriculturaldevelopment, 4) the development of railway traffic, 5)
primaryschool development, 6) the development of flat building, 7)health
care development, 8) the urbanisation level, 9) industrialdevelopment, 10)
the value of basic goods, 11) the development offriut and wine growing and
12) the development of passenger andrailway traffic. Data about the
delinquent juvenile behaviourwere obtained from the statistical data about
juveniles who werecentenced for committed crime. These data formed
furthervariables: 1) delicti against life and body, 2) property delicti,3)
other delicti, 4) material damage and 5) prison centences.Very similar
results were obtained under both models for dataanalysis. The only
significant canonic correlation (.64) and theonly quasicanonic correlation
that remained (.56), were theconsequence of the fact that the
socio-economic development,particualry the development of the terciar
activitiessignificantly influences the rate of criminal acts
againstproperty, but has no influence on criminal acts against life
andbody.

Summary: A standardisation of relevant criminal procedure mechanisms
inselecting the denounced, the accused or those charged with acrime with a
purpose to eliminate them from a criminalproccedings is a significant
result of compromise between makingthe criminal trial more effective on one
side and not letting aninnocent person to be sentenced on the other side;
also , toprevent him from beeing a subject of a criminal procedure. Inthis
respect the object of this research was to find out whetherthere was
discrepancy between legal standards and criminalproceedings, and,
especially, if there were, and to what extent,for the purpose of selection
any significant differences in therealisation of legal norms between some
parts of territory inCroaita and certain types of crime. Generally we can
say that theeffect of selection mechanisms increased not only in the
caseswhen the decision to report against someone was to be made butalso at
various stages of criminal proceedings. The intensity ofselection has been
contiually increasing in the last three yearsof investigation, and
especially in 1990. Thus we can say that inspite of certain oscillations in
some years and the unevennessbetween some territories and some types of
crimes it was noticedthat there was a tendency for a more frequent
selection whenmaking up one's mind to bring charge against somebody, in
theapplication of Art 8, Paragrapf 2 (taken from the Penal Code), inmaking
decisions soon after the judical investigation wascompleted, but also upon
the court's decision to file chargesagainst persons in question. Despite
the given information theintensity of selection on the part of the court in
case of filinga suit showes the need for reexamination of work and criteria
setfor public prosecutors, judges bearing a criminal case and
ofout-of-trial councils because the results showed that the rulesof the law
of criminal procedure, whose aim was to preventungrounded legal trial
against the accused, were not sufficientlyused.
