Sefety and trust in the work of police officers in the area of the Ljubljana Moste police station

Tematika magistrske naloge sega na področje kriminologije in viktimologije. Bistvo naloge je opredeliti policijsko delo na področju varovanja policijskega okoliša in odzivanje javnosti na to delo. Pri tem so v začetku naloge obravnavani različni temeljni pojmi in nekatere povezave med njimi. Na tem mestu je izpostavljena primerjava dveh temeljnih pojmov, pomembnih za magistrsko nalogo, in sicer pojma legalnosti in pojma legitimnosti. Prav tako je predstavljeno širše javno mnenje o pluralni policijski dejavnosti v Republiki Sloveniji in nekaterih drugih evropskih državah. Naloga se nadaljuje s samim bistvom, in sicer v skupnost usmerjenim policijskim delom. Pri tem so predstavljene osnovne značilnosti, predhodniki, preventivni projekti, dileme in nekatere raziskave v skupnost usmerjenega policijskega dela. Ta teoretični del je uvod v glavni del magistrske naloge, kjer sta prek javnega mnenja dveh izbranih sosesk na območju dela Policijske postaje Ljubljana Moste opredeljeni legitimnost in učinkovitost dela policistov te postaje. Legitimnost in učinkovitost sta opredeljeni na podlagi javnega mnenja o varnosti in zaupanju prebivalcev tega območja v policijsko delo. Pri tem so mnenja javnosti vezana na naslednje dejavnike: postopkovna pravičnost policistov, učinkovitost policistov, podrejanje policistom, viktimizacija, javni red in mir, stališča do migrantov, pripravljenost občanov za sodelovanje s policijo, povezanost soseske, tradicionalne vrednote in mladostniki.The master\u27s thesis covers the fields of criminology and victimology. The main idea of the thesis is to define police work in the field of patrolling a police district and the public response to this work. At the beginning of this thesis, we come across different basic concepts and certain connections between them. We compare two basic concepts relevant to the master\u27s thesis, namely the concept of legality and the concept of legitimacy. We also present the broader public opinion on plural police activity in the Republic of Slovenia and several other European countries. In continuation, we focus on the very essence, namely community-oriented police work. In connection to that, we introduce basic characteristics, precursors, preventive projects, dilemmas and certain researches into community oriented police work. The above mentioned is an introduction to the main part of the master\u27s thesis, where, through the public opinion of two selected neighborhoods in the area of the Ljubljana Moste police station, the legitimacy and effectiveness of the work of police officers of this station are defined. Legitimacy and efficiency are defined on the basis of public opinion on the safety and trust of the inhabitants of this area in police work. The opinions of the public are related to the following factors: procedural fairness of police officers, efficiency of police officers, subordination to police officers, victimisation, public order and peace, attitudes towards migrants, citizens\u27 readiness to cooperate with the police, cohesiveness of the neighborhood, traditional values and adolescents
