Air traffic is a branch of transportation that rapidly began to develop in the 20th century and, due to its specificity, pays great attention to safety. The increase in the number of flights causes an increase in the complexity of air traffic, as well as constraints arising from human actions and organizational processes. Air traffic continues to grow, leading to an increase in the number of potential hazards that can compromise its safety. Safety is an integral part of aviation and denotes a state in which occurrences and risks associated with aviation activities are reduced and controlled to an acceptable level. Management and reporting of occurrences in the safety of air navigation in Bosnia and Herzegovina are an integral part of the safety management system, which represents a systematic and explicit approach to defining activities with the aim of achieving an acceptable or tolerable level of safety.

Forensic sciences are an indispensable segment of criminal investigations. Forensics, as a dynamic science that is constantly developing, follows the development of modern scientific trends. The application of artificial intelligence has not bypassed forensic science, which by definition discovers modern scientific methods, adapts them and applies them with the aim of discovering and interpreting (expert) material traces from the scene of a crime. With the initial optimism of the application of artificial intelligence, especially in the development and application of information technologies in forensic databases, comes (un)justified caution. If artificial intelligence were to take over the simulation of shell, cognitive thinking and decision-making more and more over time, the question of ethical responsibility arises. This raises a number of questions, one of the most important of which is who is responsible in the event of an error in the analysis. Furthermore, if artificial intelligence also takes over the interpretations of forensic analyses, who in that case bears the responsibility for a possible complaint about the end result - the opinion. Our paper will deal with the mentioned problems, emphasizing that the European Union, through the ENFSI network, was the first to react in the direction of studying the application of artificial intelligence in forensic sciences, with the strategic document ENFSI - Vision of the European Forensic Science Area 2030 „Improving the reliability and validity of forensic science and encouraging implementation of new technologies“, the most important parts of which will be presented in the paper.

The form and content of procedural actions in criminal proceedings is prescribed by law. The law obliges all procedural subjects to undertake procedural actions as prescribed. Any deviation from the prescribed results in an irregular procedural action, the consequences of which depend on the degree and significance of the irregularity for the criminal procedure. In order to prevent improper procedural actions, the law provides certain preventive measures. One of them is witness oath. The witness oath exists the same amount of time as witnesses. Its purpose has always been the same, to contribute to the credibility of the witnesses testimony. However, the character of the oath, and therefore its text, as well as the way of taking it, i.e. the consequences of the witness's refusal to take the oath have changed and today differ from country to country. In the papear, the author will describe the oath, its concept, significance and method of takig the oath in criminal proceedings, with special reference to the oath in the criminal proceedings of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The aim of this paper is to present an analysis importance of the components of the success of the members of the teams for the close protection of VIP persons in public and private security. For the purposes of this work, an expert analysis was carried out, in which 24 experts from the field of close protection from the region and Europe participated who were the members of the team for close protection of VIP persons for at least 5 years, working in all positions. Evaluated are the necessary components of the team's success for the close protection of VIP persons working at a medium threat level in accordance with the model mostly used in the region and Europe. The mentioned model includes a minimum of two vehicles during the security transport of VIP persons by motor vehicles and an average number of agents. The results of this research, after analyzing special anthropological characteristics, indicate that there are statistically significant differences in the value of certain factors. The results of this research are of crucial importance for the planning and implementation of specialist training as well as the formation of teams that work at an intermediate level of threat, taking into account the individualities and characteristics of the members of the mentioned team.

The criminal legislation in Bosnia and Herzegovina contains an impressive number of criminal offenses, among which is the illegal making of secret audio and video recordings, which has recently attracted a lot of public attention. In this paper, we will try to answer the question of whether it is sometimes permissible to make secret audio and video recordings, and if the answer is yes when it is possible. We will seek an answer to that question with the help of research methods of the normative framework, domestic judicial practice, comparative judicial practice, and the practice of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg and its public interest construct. We will also present several decisions of the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina and regular courts in Bosnia and Herzegovina so that we can conclude whether and to what extent the "Strasbourg" standards are respected in the application of the law by the domestic judiciary. We will also compare normative solutions from Bosnia and Herzegovina with the same or similar ones from neighboring countries, specifically the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Serbia, which inherit the same, Yugoslav legal system, and like Bosnia and Herzegovina are passing (Republic of Serbia) or have largely passed (Republic Croatia) process of harmonizing national legislation with the law of the European Union and the law of the Council of Europe.

The last year has seen much activity in preparing the new Act on Private Security, which should be coming in force in early 2020. One of the main reasons for the legislator to pass the new law is to improve the implementation of physical and technical protection in practice, to improve the quality of regulation, and to improve the private protection sector in the context of current security threats. Also, the inevitability of inclusion of private protection in the homeland security system is an additional reason for further modernization, which implies the parallel increase in quality of private security services in the Republic of Croatia. One of the expected goals is to further increase the participation of private security in locations with increased security risk in a partnership between public and private security, which is a trend in EU countries. In this regard, a new category of security professional is proposed, which would be further educated by experienced professionals and, under the new Act on Private Security, entrusted with the most responsible and complex tasks of private security. However, in the current conditions in the Croatian private security sector, which currently lacks almost 25% of trained professionals, in which negative staff selection has been present for over 5 years, with enormous fluctuation of staff, and sector wide minimum wages, it is important to ask whether is the new security guard definition just a different name and form, or does it bring new content. This paper will present a part of the research into private security professionals' attitudes towards lifelong learning. The aim of this paper is to: determine the attitudes of guards and security guards on lifelong learning, ways in which guards and security guards participate in the training process, their motivational factors for acquiring new knowledge and barriers to training and ultimately assess the benefits of training.

Classic forensic investigations are sometimes insufficient to collect all of the potential evidence from a crime-scene, especially if conducted a long-time after, particularly when there are limitations in accessing the site and performing the fieldwork. The described limitations are particularly pronounced in the investigation of war crimes or location of war legacy (unexploded ordnance, buried weapons, mass graves and other potential war-crimes). This paper presents some of the geophysical and geochemical methods and techniques that have been used around the world - the Balkans, the Middle East and the Ukraine, especially in locating secondary and tertiary mass graves and residual military materiel. The described methods include the use of remote sensing methods via airborne or satellite sensors that indicate certain changes on the ground, the use of ground penetrating radar systems, electromagnetic methods, sensors for detecting residual radiation, and geochemical methods of water and soil sampling to collect evidence or locate zones of potential interest. The presented methods outline descriptive alterations in the soil mineralogy, electrical conductivity, occurrences of voids or discontinuities in the ground-penetrating radar data and unusual concentrations of metals or organic substances in water or soil as potential indicators of mass war-crimes or other war legacy.

The paper presents the results of a qualitative analysis of prostitution in Croatia according to the prostitution categorisation into low, medium and high-level prostitution. The goal of the conducted study and this paper is to provide an in-depth insight into prostitution phenomenology, and based on that, on influencing factors, as well as about the possible directions of prevention regarding the etiology of prostitution. For the purpose of transparency and systematic presentation, semi-structured interviews with persons engaged in prostitution and police officers engaged in the prevention of prostitution were divided into mentioned prostitution categorisation and thematic division of the questionnaire was carried out according to the questionnaire presented in the introduction and presented in a table for the sake of transparency, after which the analysis strives to bring out conclusions about the possible patterns of the phenomenon itself. In addition, at the end of the research, the table shows the general police officers’ knowledge of the phenomenon of prostitution, their attitudes regarding the phenomenon itself and the current legislative framework. The results of research and analysis show that street prostitution has almost disappeared in Croatia, while medium-level prostitution is dominant because it offers a significantly higher level of protection and safety (both physical and from stigmatization, as well as police detection). High-level prostitution is more in the focus of new communication channels and media full of "successful" beauties who live "on the high side", and most often it is about women who have a certain legal "occupation/profession", while they engage in prostitution occasionally in order to improve their financial situation, while most of them grew up in average families without detected trauma or victimization.

The aim of the research was to determine the relationship between socio-demographic variables of the respondents and the perception of social disorganization related to housing conditions and the quality of the neighborhood. The research was conducted in December 2022 on a sample of 102 respondents (49 male and 53 female), average age 43. The following scales and questionnaires were applied: Sociodemographic Variables Questionnaire, Social Organization Inventory and Social Perception Scale. The results of the research showed that socio-demographic variables have influence on the perception of social disorganization and neighborhood quality. It was found that there is a statistically significant positive association with the social disorganization variable in the direction of the impact of tenants on the quality of collective living, emotional ties of tenants, the need to fulfill requests, neighborhood stability and informal control. The data indicate that all individual items of the subtest of the neighborhood variable showed a statistically significant positive association with tenants' external connections, with institutions related to the quality of housing, pro-social norms of collective housing, basic participation of tenants in skyscraper activities, informal participation of tenants in skyscraper activities and formal participation of tenants in skyscraper activities. Factor analysis revealed three dominant factors: involvement of tenants in activities of common interest, connection and assistance among tenants, and opportunities to improve living conditions for all tenants by engaging in the local community. The obtained results suggest positive attitudes related to housing values that arise from social organization and neighborhood quality. The paper is concluded with recommendations for future research and directions.
