Криминалистичко-оперативни рад на сузбијању имовинских кривичних дела — допринос европског законодавства
Criminalist-operative work on the suppression of property crimes - the contribution of European legislation

Summary/Abstract: Planning and undertaking criminal-operational measures and actions to suppress property crimes presupposes timely knowledge of the preparation or execution of crimes. As one of the sources of knowledge, operatives in our country and the European Union (EU) member states still use traditional methods of gathering information from associates and informants from the criminal environment. With modern systems of physical and technical security and video surveillance, as well as the accelerated development of the private security sector, whose operation is normatively regulated in our country on the model of the EU, operatives dealing with the detection of property crimes can find out more quickly about their perpetrators, which affects their more efficient processing. Since detecting perpetrators and proving property crimes requires a certain ability and knowledge, competent state authorities must invest more efforts to create the conditions for specialisation and training of operational workers. In this sense, it is also necessary for operatives to become familiar with prevention measures widely used in the EU countries, such as increased surveillance, checking, observation, ambushing, tracking, blocking, and others. Also, their specific education is needed in terms of familiarisation with the domestic legislative framework and the legal acquis of the EU in this area, which would certainly have positive effects in more efficient conduct of criminal proceedings and faster prosecution of perpetrators of criminal acts.
