SOCIAL DISORGANIZATION THEORY TESTING IN THE LIGHT OF BOSNIAN REALITY – CRIMINOLOGICAL AND SECURITY DISCOURSE

Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes the suitability of the Bosnian social context for the application of the social disorganization theory in illuminating the causes of criminality and other forms of socially unacceptable behavior. Keeping in mind the fact that in Bosnia and Herzegovina we witness for more than two decades the triumph of disorganization over the organization, the purpose of the paper is to show how the social disorganization contributes to crime in our country. To this end, the author devotes special attention to factors contributing to social disorganization processes (poverty, family disorder, residential mobility and ethnic heterogeneity), which may favor the emergence of criminality through paralysis the mechanisms of informal social control or through their direct impact on the crime appearance.
