Comparative Review of the Organizational Structure of the Scientific Research Centers for Criminalistics in Some Balkan Countries

Summary/Abstract: Confronting crime and its prevention is not possible without education. Education is one of the most important prerequisites for successful action and prevention of the complex forms of crime. The specificity of the police profession and contemporary security challenges necessarily impose strategic acting by specialized professionals on appropriate theoretical and empirical ground, which would be a reflection of the security needs of the system, and therefore of the society as a whole. For the reason that fighting against crime does not tolerate improvisation, any reform of the security system should be based on scientific theoretical - practical research, which will thus increase the expertise of the staff arising from higher educational institutions that produce professionals in the field of security, and by that the quality of the performed tasks will be increased. Police officers in this process are placed in front of a specific and delicate task, which involves the application of legal regulations, which in specific terms requires certain predispositions for a good performance of the same. The essence of a good police officer who, among the other, represents the interests of a democratic society, is particularly in the theoretical foundation that was formed in his Criminalistic education, which as such, is one of the major guiding factors to a good career progress. The unstoppable development of the Criminalistic science imposes the need for theoretical clarification of certain criminalistic questions that will contribute to improving of the ways and methods of detection, proving and prevention of crime, and which apart from the students would be of a great benefit also to the practitioners dealing with discovering and proving of the crime.
