Summary/Abstract: The homeless persons are a category of victims that is unprotected in Bosnia and Herzegovina. These are the persons who are at high risk of victimization, whether they are B&H citizens or migrants trying to reach Europe through Bosnia and Herzegovina. According to United Nations documents, there are two categories of homelessness: absolute and relative. According to the results of the victimology research, both categories are present in B&H, but they are both legally unprotected. Because of this, but also because of the results of other victimological research in the world that indicate a high risk of victimization of this category of population, the paper presents an approximate scope of this victimological problem in Bosnia and Herzegovina and, in accordance with the best practices, appropriate measures of legal protection and meeting the needs of the homeless persons in democratic societies.
