Abstract

Povjerenje u policiju i strah od kriminaliteta, zbog svoje važnosti za skladno funkcioniranje društva, su dva često proučavana i istraživana koncepta. I povjerenje u policiju i strah od kriminaliteta pod utjecajem su brojnih čimbenika na mikro, mezo i makro razini. Čimbenici koji su najčešće stavljani u korelaciju s povjerenjem u policiju i strahom od kriminaliteta, izuzev prethodne viktimizacije, iskustva s policijom i utjecaja medija, su spol, dob, stupanj obrazovanja i ekonomski status.
Povezanost povjerenja u policiju i straha od kriminaliteta nameće se kao tema važna za strategijsko djelovanje državnih i društvenih institucija. Ova povezanost nije direktna, već su njezini najčešći posrednici socijalna kohezija i percepcija (ne)reda u društvu.
Ovim radom analiziraju se koncepti povjerenja u policiju i straha od kriminaliteta s obzirom na osnovna sociodemografska obilježja- spol, dob, stupanj obrazovanja i ekonomski status, te povezanosti između ova dva koncepta. Prvi dio rada je teoretski prikaz oba koncepta, kao i prikaz do sada provedenih istraživanja na ovu temu. Drugi dio sadrži rezultate istraživanja provedenog na uzorku od 379 punoljetnih građana urbanih područja Zagreba. Utvrđena je povezanost sociodemografskih obilježja ispitanika s povjerenjem u policiju i strahom od kriminaliteta, dok povezanost povjerenja i straha od kriminaliteta nije dokazana.

Abstract (english)

Confidence in the police and fear of crime, due to it's importance for smooth functioning of society, are quite often studied and examined concepts. Trust in the police and fear of crime are influenced by numerous factors at the micro, messo and macro level. With the exception of previous victimization, experience with the police and the influence of the media, most frequently correlated factors with trust in the police and fear of crime are sex, age, education and economic status.
The connection between trust in the police and the fear of crime is a major issue for the strategic action of state and social institutions. This connection is not direct and it’s most commonly mentioned mediators are social cohesion and perception of (dis)order in society.
This paper deals with the influence of sociodemographic factors - gender, age, degree of education and economic status on trust in the police and fear of crime, and the correlation between trust in the police and fear of crime. This paper, in it’s first part, presents a theoretical view of both concepts, as well as a review of the researches on this subject that have been carried out so far. The second part contains the results of research carried out on a sample of 379 adult citizens of the urban area of Zagreb. The correlation of sociodemographic features of respondents with trust in the police and fear of crime was established, while the link between trust and fear of crime has not been proven.
