Preprečevanje kriminalitete skozi javno-zasebno partnerstvo v varnostnem sistemu Republike Makedonije

Purpose: This article examines the contribution of public-private cooperation in crime prevention within the security system of Macedonia in the last 10 years. Design/Methods/Approach: Secondary data analysis on information obtained from the Ministry of Interior and private security entities as well as content analysis of available resources to estimate the importance of the crime prevention. Findings: In general, the contribution of the public-private cooperation to crime prevention within the contemporary security system of the Republic of Macedonia is seen more as potential than as reality, owing to the present level of co-existence between public and private security sector. Although the crime prevention advantages of the cooperation between them are recognized within both sectors, it is certain that only joint activities within securing the public events and transportation of money, documents and other valuables are functioning so far. Research limitations / implications: Considering the fact that secondary data are being used, employing primary data for analysis in the future will probably strengthen the findings obtained with this research and reveal new relations. Originality/Value: Though there are several studies related to private security in the Republic of Macedonia, there is a lack of studies concerning public-private cooperation within the security system, let alone their relationship to crime prevention. We see this study as a pivotal contribution to efforts to highlight this crucial dimension of their mutual relation nowadays and in the future.Namen prispevka: Članek analizira prispevek javno-zasebnega partnerstva na področju preprečevanja kriminalitete v varnostnem sistemu Republike Makedonije v zadnjih desetih letih. Metode: Uporabljena je metoda sekundarne analize podatkov Ministrstva za notranje zadeve in zasebnovarnostnih subjektov kot tudi analiza vsebine razpoložljivih relevantnih virov s področja preprečevanja kriminalitete. Ugotovitve: Na splošno gre prispevek javno-zasebnega partnerstva pri preprečevanju kriminalitete v sodobnem varnostnem sistemu Republike Makedonije opazovati predvsem v smislu potencialnega in ne realnega stanja, še posebej, če imamo pred očmi trenutno raven soobstoja javnega in zasebnega varnostnega sektorja. Čeprav oba sektorja prepoznavata prednosti, ki jih za preprečevanje kriminalitete prinaša njuno medsebojno sodelovanje, je to trenutno omejeno predvsem na varovanje javnih prireditev ter prevoz denarja, dokumentov in drugih dragocenosti. Omejitve/uporabnost raziskave Glede na dejstvo, da so bili uporabljeni sekundarni podatki, bo primarna analiza podatkov v prihodnjih raziskavah verjetno okrepila ugotovitve te raziskave in razkrila nova razmerja med javnim in zasebnim varnostnim sektorjem. Izvirnost/pomembnost prispevka: Medtem, ko obstaja več študij o zasebnem varovanju, pa primanjkuje tako študij o javno-zasebnem partnerstvu v okviru varnostnega sistema v Republiki Makedoniji kot o njegovem vplivu na preprečevanje kriminala. To študijo lahko razumemo kot ključni prispevek k prizadevanjem, da bi osvetlili pomen medsebojnih odnosov med javnim in zasebnim varnostnim sektorjem za preprečevanje kriminalitete danes in v prihodnosti
