This paper aims to present the most common reasons why child victims of sexual abuse do not choose to testify about their experience in criminal proceedings. The process of disclosing sexual abuse and the reactions of family members and professionals in various institutions can be a source of support and help in recovery for the child, but also a source of secondary victimization. Based on that, the paper analyzes to what extent the Serbian legislative framework is harmonized with international standards regarding the protection of child victims from secondary victimization. It points out to the application of legal solutions on the protection of child victims during criminal proceedings through the Units for Supporting Child Victims and Witnesses as an example of the best practice in supporting and protecting child victims and witnesses from secondary victimization. Special attention is paid to the prevalence of sexual abuse of children, while the focus is on the reasons why children are not ready to speak publicly about sexual abuse, as well as the feelings that arise when disclosure occurs.

This paper aims at presenting findings of the research that aimed at exploring the frequency of abuse targeting older persons, frequency of individual types of elder abuse, as well as the frequency of elder abuse targeting two different types of older persons. The research took place in 2016 in 9 Serbian municipalities and was designed as a cross-section study. It was conducted on a sample of 616 older persons of whom 58.1% (358) are socially less active and have some kind of support in daily life activities and 41.9% (258) are active in their communities and are socially included. The starting assumption of the research is that the frequency of elder abuse is more often in socially excluded persons than it is in socially included and more active ones. The research confirmed the correlation between the level of social activity and the risk of elder abuse and this correlation can be clearly explained by exploring other protective factors and risk factors such as income and education level or chronic diseases and disability.

Eventhough the number of neurosience studies has grown from the late 20th century, the topic of fear in Serbian literature of the second half of the 19th century has rarely been separately researched. For this analisys, the author has chosen an unusual book in which, unlikely to Serbian novels of the time, fear was often described. It is the first book of the stories about Serbian female convicts of the 19th century The Album of the Women?s Ward of Prison in Pozarevac with Statistics (1898) by Milutin A. Popovic. Contrary to some Serbian, Swedish (1861) and American (1886) albuma of the time, Popovic narrated crimes and sometimes wrote confessions derived directly from the female prisoners. The purpose of this paper is to analyse fear, conditioned by time and space, its vocal, facial and body expressions, as well as personal reactions. In this interdisciplanary research the author has integrated perspectives and methods from the Theory of Literature and Affective Narratology, Comparative Literature, History of Serbian Society and Literature, Psychology, Political Psychology, Philosophy and to some extent Linguistics (Cognitive Semantics). It is argued that the author's insistence on truth was the part of terrorethics, of causing fear and shock. It establishes the triumph of truth without beautifying, calling for sensibility, compassion and responsibility, in order to improve society. The results of the investigation show that in Album fear is presented as a complex emotion. It appears as an act of defense, but also as a form of manipulation. Fear is often connected to women and it turned to courage. The fear of death and the fear of a dead human body are the most frequently described fears. The author also described gender-specific fear of pregnancy, abortion, and rape. The Album breaks stereotypes of the past Serbian society and reveals different cases of women?s political resistance and sexual freedom. In the Album, fear is rarely vocally expressed, rather it manifests through different bodily symptoms, their intensity and spectrum. In describing one of the cruelest crimes, the author included humor as a mean of defense and fear control. Emotional geography reveals a paradox: a home is a place of terror and life threat, while a prison emerges as an area of joy and security. Moreover, the book describes two key generators of the politics of emotions. One is made by the systematic violence of a patriarcharchal society toward women, and the other one by inadequate institutions which ignore serious social problems. The language of fear, shock, horror, provocation and perversion and the aesthetics of the genre is interpreted as a part of the author's efforts for readers to feel terror of psycho-physiological mechanisms of pain, and to make new connections with the society and its culture.

This paper aims to present research findings on the reporting of two print media in Bosnia and Herzegovina on violence against women. Qualitative-quantitative analysis of the content of the two daily papers Nezavisne novine and Dnevni avaz during February 2019 was used to analyze the responsibility of the media in reporting on violence against women. The aim of the research was twofold: to examine the compliance of journalistic practice with the codes and laws of ethical conduct of media professionals and to examine whether the media emphasize violence against women in the family and community as a personal or as a social problem. The results of the quantitative analysis show a larger number of articles on violence against women in the community, while family violence against women remains in the personal domain, although it is most prevalent in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The results of the qualitative analysis indicate that the media do not deal with violence from an analytical point of view. Instead, the media deal with the reckless and unethical stereotyping of the female victim, as well as the situational portrayal of violence against women, i.e. only after the violent act. The research findings confirm the findings of much more extensive and comprehensive studies conducted so far in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which indicate that the expansion of sensationalist reporting on violence against women is becoming a skillfully used tool to justify male aggression, filling the black chronicle and attracting attention, which produces a kind of effect of audience resilience on violence.

The present paper focuses on the role of probation officers for juvenile offenders in victim-offender mediation and on the main challenges for the protection of victims? interests. The general nature of probation officers? duties has been characterized as ?offender-focused?. However, according to the Directive 2012/29/EU, restorative justice includes processes through which the victim and the offender can participate actively in resolving the problems that occur from the offence, with the help of an impartial third party. The Greek juvenile justice system will be examined as a case study. The analysis reveals that the Greek legislator has adopted a ?quasi-restorative? practice that promotes juvenile offenders? rehabilitation and socialization. This fact raises concerns regarding the ?legitimation? of mediation process from a victimological perspective. Special emphasis is given to the significance of the informed consent that should be provided by the victims in order to participate in the process based on the procedural justice theory.

In 2019 the Victimology Society of Serbia conducted the survey aimed at assessing the attitudes of professionals who work in state institutions, independent state agencies and civil society organizations in Serbia about gender equality and genderbased violence, and collecting data on their experiences and challenges in dealing with gender-based violence victims, especially Roma women and women in rural areas. The survey was a part of the broader project aimed to contribute to policy and practice changes to ensure the recognition of harmful gender stereotypes and gender discrimination and to ensure suppression and timely response in cases of gender- based violence. It was a part of the program ?Ending Violence against Women in the Western Balkan countries and Turkey: Implementing Norms, Changing Minds?, implemented by the UN Women and funded by the European Commission. The survey was conducted on a sample of 199 respondents from the police, courts, prosecutors? offices, social welfare centres, independent institutions and civil society organizations, in 21 local communities in Serbia. The survey findings suggested that in general practitioners involved in the survey do not have negative attitudes towards gender equality and gender-based violence. However, when looking at some individual statements on the scales of attitudes on gender equality and gender-based violence, as well as answers to additional questions regarding the role of women and men at home, one can still conclude that traditional (gender) stereotypes are present in respondents of both sexes. The survey results also revealed a lack of knowledge about gender-based violence, which can result in the victim not being recognized, blaming the victim, failing to provide necessary assistance, support and protection, leading to re-victimization and secondary victimization. On average, male respondents have more conservative attitudes towards gender equality and gender-based violence than women. Older respondents, and consequently respondents with longer working experience, have more negative attitudes towards gender equality and gender-based violence than younger respondents. Respondents working in the judiciary, police and prosecution have more negative attitudes towards gender equality and gender-based violence than respondents from independent state bodies, centres for social work and civil society organizations. Attitudes on gender equality proved to be a strong predictor of attitudes about different forms of gender-based violence. Therefore, it is necessary to work further on raising awareness and strengthening capacities of practitioners in state institutions and civil society organizations on issues related to gender equality and gender-based violence, as well as on raising public awareness, including (potential) victims of gender inequality and gender-based violence, so that citizens can recognize their own or victimization of others and seek he

The paper analyses the theoretical concept and legal framework of the presumption of innocence and the significance of the consequences of its violation by the media in Serbia, which leads to the victimization of the accused. An analysis of examples of reporting of selected electronic media is presented, in which the way the media violates the presumption of innocence is indicated. In order to draw the attention of the professional and general public to the consequences of unethical media reporting on crime, it is pointed out that they are reflected in the impossibility of proper development of the defendant?s personality, stigmatization as a direct consequence of media treatment to which he was exposed, and degradation of the right to privacy. The author concludes that it is necessary to work on raising public awareness of the unforeseeable harmful consequences for the personality of all those who are associated with a criminal event in the media and to more legally regulate the ban on violating the presumption of innocence by the media, and achieve a balance between the presumption of innocence, as a part of the corpus of the defendant?s rights, and the right of the public to be informed on time of the state of crime.

In the information society, everyday use of information and communication technology by children occupies a significant place in their lives. Technology has enabled children?s access to cyberspace where they can perform their daily school and leisure activities. However, children?s access to information technology has also created new opportunities for the emergence of different forms of electronic harassment. The subject of this paper includes the analysis of the following electronic forms of harassment of children: 1) grooming, 2) cyberstalking, 3) cyberbullying and 4) trolling. The main goal of the paper is to discuss the controversial issues in conceptualisation of the analyzed electronic forms of harassment of children. In addition, the subject of this paper includes the overview of the relevant legal framework regarding electronic forms of harassment of children at international, European and national level to determine whether these forms of harassment are recognized as criminal offences and to identify legal gaps in observed criminal law frameworks. In the concluding remarks, it is pointed out that incidents of electronic harassment of children are increasing, creating a necessity for new policies and laws to ensure better protection of children in cyberspace.

Ethics in the research with children has become a very important topic due to an increasing number of research involving children resulting in an increasing number of academic papers on this topic. Conducting social research in the field of child sexual victimization presents double vulnerability: firstly, it involves research with a vulnerable population, and secondly, the topic itself is sensitive. This raises numerous ethical questions and can result in researcher?s unwillingness to explore this particular field. The aim of this paper is to answer the question of specific ethical challenges in researching sexual victimization of children. The specific questions addressed in the paper include the following: 1) Are there any specific ethical guidelines for researching child sexual victimization, and 2) What ethical questions are specifically addressed in child sexual victimization research? The answers provided on the basis of the analysis presented in the paper are: 1) There are no specific ethical guidelines for conducting epidemiology research of child sexual victimization, and 2) It is difficult to single out ethical questions specific for this research area from available literature (only few authors are addressing specific ethical issues in this type of victimization research). Therefore, it is concluded that more attention should be focused on ethical issues in epidemiologic research of child sexual victimization.

The aim of this paper is to answer the question of specific ethical challenges in researching sexual victimization of children. The specific questions addressed in the paper include the following: 1) Are there any specific ethical guidelines for researching child sexual victimization, and 2) What ethical questions are specifically addressed in child sexual victimization research? The answers provided on the basis of the analysis presented in the paper are: 1) There are no specific ethical guidelines for conducting epidemiology research of child sexual victimization, and 2) It is difficult to single out ethical questions specific for this research area from available literature (only few authors are addressing specific ethical issues in this type of victimization research). Therefore, it is concluded that more attention should be focused on ethical issues in epidemiologic research of child sexual victimization.","PeriodicalId":41858,"journal":{"name":"Temida","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68850883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
