No society is immune from violence. However, the story of various forms of violence, which, every day, is increasingly taking on the characteristics of social alarming, the drop that overflows the cup and seriously rings at social alarm. That bell presumably has only limited time alarm, while noting that some, and many previous events of violence, some of which are particularly vulnerable to those relating to the actors of minor age and the offender and the victim, as well as the character and circumstances affecting violent (in)actions. The alarming institutions of society, when something happens to go towards staging the public about the need for a fuller definition of domestic legal standards and toughen sanctions for offenders. Stricter sanctioning of any offense in modern society is an institute which resorted to impotent society, which has limited many constraints that whatever action is taken. A society that presents such institutions seems, and that at the moment some form of violence, which has shocked and completely taken aback by social and general environment, seeking an alibi for his (non)involvement in some new legal solutions is, besides being a very uncertain and risky society. In such a society will always find an excuse legal gaps and contradictions for the (non)treatment. A society that feels responsible for its own population can not seek an alibi for the (non) action in cases of domestic legal norms. Or in their disadvantages, be it in a legal vacuum. Being legally prescribed conduct general moral norms which contain basic value criteria a key issue in fighting and preventing all forms of violence is not legally sanctioning, but developing certain cultural and civilizational values that are clearly in the overall social riality completely marginalized. And these values are related to love, respect, dignity and understanding all different. Cases of violence needs to be addressed, and not talk about them and switch (ir)responsibility to (not)or functional (non)existing standard.

U St Louisu živi najveća skupina bosanskih izbjeglica u SAD. Sasvim slučajno, St Louis ima i živahnu psihoanalitičku zajednicu, vodi je dr. Todd Dean koji je godinama pro bono pružao pomoć traumatiziranim izbjeglicama. Sve to nagnalo me je otputovati u St Louis, radoznalu istražiti šta se dogodilo s Bosancima/kama 20 godina poslije rata, kroz kakvu vrst trauma prolaze, kako se nose s prošlošću i kako su se snašli u novoj zemlji.

Prisjetimo se događaja u jorkširskom gradu Rotherhamu u Engleskoj, gdje je u razdoblju između 1997. i 2013. godine najmanje 1400 djece bilo podvrgnuto brutalnom seksualnom izrabljivanju. Djeca, ne starija od 11 godina, bila su višestruko silovana, otimana i prodavana u druge gradove, tučena i zatrašivana, "u zvaničnom izvještaju piše kako su ih poljevali benzinom i prijetili kako će ih zapaliti, prijetili im oružjem, tjerali ih gledati brutalno nasilna silovanja s prijetnjom da će biti sljedeći ako ikome kažu,." Prije no što je potpuna istraga objavljena 2014, sredinom 2000-ih bilo ih je još tri koje nisu odvele nikuda – istražni tim je zabilježio kako se članovi vijeća boje da će biti etiketirani kao "rasisti" ako istraju na toj stvari. Počinitelji su gotovo isključivo bili članovi pakistanskih bandi, a njihove žrtve bijele djevojčice školskog uzrasta (koje su oni nazivali "bijelim smećem").

Quantitative and qualitative approaches were applied. Sample comprised of 353 prisoners, 154 of warders and 193 employees of other departments. After getting results of quantitative research, focus groups or structured interviews (on the results) were conducted with prisoners and prison staff. This paper brings general descriptive data and discuss the possibilities of preventing violence in the penal system using programs based on the principles of restorative justice.

The aim of this study is to scientifically describe and explain suicide terrorism from a psychological point of view and analyse the psychological characteristics and motivational factors that trigger suicidal terrorists. The author of this study will seek to provide an adequate answer to the question of what motivates suicide bombers to act in such a manner and whether they really are deviants and mentally ill fanatics as most qualify them. In fact, suicide terrorists are one of the most extreme criminological problems and phenomena and certainly not a new aspect in human history. The specificity of this form of terrorism is reflected in the expression of the determination of terrorists to lose their lives in carrying out the attack, in order to attain political goals. This form of terrorism is the deadliest terrorist modality and its specificity is manifested in the form of a violent act in which a human life is a deadly and destructive terrorist weapon.
