Fear of crime in municipality of beltinci

V zadnjih desetletjih se raziskovalci na kriminološkem, predvsem pa na viktimološkem področju veliko ukvarjajo s pojmom strahu pred kriminaliteto ter tudi z merjenjem strahu pred kriminaliteto. Kljub velikemu številu raziskav in člankov ter knjig s tega področja še danes ne moremo reči, da je pojem popolnoma raziskan. Strah pred kriminaliteto je v zadnjem času postal večja problematika kot pa sama kriminaliteta. Kompleksnost pojma se kaže tudi skozi različne vzroke, ki strah pred kriminaliteto povzročajo, kot tudi pri njegovih posledicah. V magistrski nalogi smo najprej pozornost posvetili opredelitvi pojma strah pred kriminaliteto ter različnih definicij, povezanih s tem pojmom. Izpostavili smo različne dejavnike, ki vplivajo na strah pred kriminaliteto, ter posledice, ki jih ta strah povzroča. Poskušali smo izpostaviti tudi probleme, s katerimi so se raziskovalci najpogosteje soočali pri merjenju strahu pred kriminaliteto, ter različne načine merjenja samega strahu pred kriminaliteto. Vključili smo tudi pregled preteklih raziskav na področju strahu pred kriminaliteto v Sloveniji, večji del magistrske naloge pa smo posvetili raziskovalnemu delu, kjer smo raziskovali strah pred kriminaliteto v občini Beltinci. Izvajali smo primarno statistično analizo, s katero smo obdelali vse podatke, ki smo jih pridobili s pomočjo anketnih vprašalnikov. Nato smo analizirali pridobljene podatke. Preverjali smo tri postavljene hipoteze, ki se nanašajo na dejavnike strahu pred kriminaliteto, ter poskušali izpostaviti tiste, ki na strah pred kriminaliteto najbolj vplivajo, pa tudi tiste, ki nimajo vpliva. Izvedli smo tudi intervju z vodjem policijskega okoliša na območju občine Beltinci. Na podlagi izvedenega pogovora ter z analizo pridobljenih podatkov smo poskušali predlagati določene izboljšave, ki bi po našem mnenju lahko zmanjšale strah pred kriminaliteto v občini Beltinci.In last decades researchers in the criminological and especially in victimological field are engaded in the concept of fear of crime and in its measuring. Despite a large number of researches, books and articles on this matter we can not say that this topic is completely reseached. Recently fear of crime became a greater problem than crime itself. Complexity of the concept is being shown both through different causes, that are causing fear of crime and at its consequences. Firstly we have devoted attention to the definition of fear of crime and different definitions connected to this concept. We also emphasised different factors, that influence fear of crime and consequences, that this fear is causing. We also tried to emphasise different problems that occur when measuring fear of crime and different ways of measuring fear of crime. We also included reviews of past researches on the field of fear of crime in Slovenia. We have devoted a major part of a master\u27s thesis to the research part, where we were looking into fear of crime in a municipality of Beltinci. We have carried out a primary statistical analysis and later we tried to analyse gained data. We have checked three hypothesis that are associated with factors of fear of crime and we try to emphasise those, that influence fear of crime the most and also those that don\u27t have an influence. We will also carry out an interview with the police officer who is working on field of municipality Beltinci. Based on the interview and the analysis of gained data, we will try to suggest certain improvements, that could by our opinion reduce fear of crime in a municipality of Beltinci
