Abstract
Kako bismo prikazali ozbiljnost i sveprisutnost nasilja u obitelji u društvu, u radu je napravljena analiza prekršaja i kaznenih djela nasilja u obitelji za razdoblje od 2003. do 2013. godine na razini Republike Hrvatske. Također je istaknuta važnost policijskih službenika pri postupanju u slučajevima obiteljskog nasilja jer oni nerijetko prvi dolaze na mjesto događaja: stoga način na koji oni reagiraju u takvim situacijama, njihov stav prema žrtvi i zaštita koju joj pružaju od ključne su važnosti za sigurnost žrtve i odgovornost počinitelja.
Glavni cilj ovoga rada provedba je istraživanja slažu li se policijski službenici s mitovima o obiteljskom nasilju, smatraju li nasilje u obitelji javnom ili privatnom stvari te stupanj njihove educiranosti i zainteresiranosti za postupanje u slučajevima obiteljskog nasilja. Istraživanje je provedeno nad policijskim službenicima Policijske uprave zagrebačke uz pomoć anketnog upitnika, a analizom provedenog istraživanja došli smo do zaključka da unatoč borbi protiv nasilja u obitelji i nadalje postoji visok stupanj tolerancije na obiteljsko nasilje, dok educiranost i motiviranost policijskih službenika nisu na dostatnoj razini što sigurno utječe na učinkovitost policijskih službenika, kao i kvalitetu pružanja zaštite žrtvi nasilja u obitelji.For the purpose of showing the seriousness and presence of violence within social boundaries and family surroundings, an analysis has been done of offences within the families related to time period between 2003-2013 on the basis of the Republic of Croatia. The research emphasizes the importance of police officials because in high percentage of cases they arrive first to the scene of domestic violence, and the way they handle this kind of situations, their estimations, attitudes towards the victim and its protection, are crucial elements for the victims’ safety and determining the volume of perpetrators acts. The primary goal of this research was to determine the attitude of police officials about myths of domestic violence, and if they consider domestic violence private or public matter as well as the degree of their education and interest in offences of this kind, or handling domestic violence cases in general. The research was conducted among police officials working in Zagreb Police Directorate, where specific questionnaire was applied. Based on the result analysis we arrived at the conclusion that even though we solve and struggle against violent situations there is a high percentage of tolerance in these cases. Motivation and degree of education of officials are not at the required level that affects final results of efficiency among police officials and also the quality of protection given to the victim who needs it in domestic violence cases
