ANALYSIS OF THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC SITUATION OF FAMILIES OF PRISONERS IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF DERVENTA

Summary/Abstract: Crime as a social deviation and a phenomenon that has a general social character, also has family consequences. The conditions and socio-economic condition of the family are important for the life of all its members. They are especially important as predictors of negative phenomena in the family, but also as factors of proper development and life of family members. Crime as a socio-pathological phenomenon is in a significant connection with the family of the committer in the sense that the family can act as a protective factor, but also negatively. The aim of this paper was to analyze the socio-economic situation of the families of prisoners from the Municipality of Derventa. Thus, we found that the families of prisoners are in an unfortunate socio-economic position due to unemployment, low educational status of prisoners, as well as unresolved housing status. That the crime and imprisonment stand oposite to the socio-economic condition of the family in a cause-and-effect relationship is the starting premise of this paper and research. Factors influencing the satisfaction of the needs of the family of prisoners and the quality of life of family members are certainly economic stability, ie employment of family members and housing status of the family. Furthermore, we found that the obtained results indicate that socio-economic factors are not alone, but that the interaction of several factors and multiple circumstances adversely affects both the occurrence of unfortunate conditions in the family and its improvement.The significance of this analysis is in the contribution to a better understanding of the situation, problems and needs of the families of prisoners, especially in the transitional conditions of society. The practical significance of the research is in pointing out the need for further research, improving the multidisciplinary approach to problems such as poverty, unemployment, education, and especially towards taking prevention measures, developing alternative criminal sanctions and helping families of prisoners as part of a successful resocialization and reintegration plans.
