dc.description.abstract | The uncontrolled spread and misuse of firearms challenges and
threatens both state and human security. Serbia is among countries
with the highest number of civilian firearms’ holding in the world;
nevertheless, it is not characterized by high levels of conventional
crime or violence, which is most obvious when homicide data is
examined and compared to the global average. The lethal acts of
violence take place in various contexts and settings, including both
public and private. Familyrelated homicides make up a significant share of all violent deaths in
Serbia.
Taking that as a starting point, this presentation will focus on the
scope and characteristic of firearm homicides in the family context
in Serbia. The paper is primarily based on the data collected from
the Serbian Ministry of the Interior and the media reports. The
paper starts with a brief introduction to the context related to
firearm violence in Serbia and continuous with an analysis of the
data on the scope and characteristics of family-related homicides in
the period 2015–2019.
The analysis confirms general trends that firearm-related violence
is generally a ‘male’ phenomenon; however, when it comes to the
family context, men still present a majority of perpetrators, but
most victims of firearm-related incidents are women.
Based on the main conclusions, we will end with recommendations
for preventing and suppressing firearm-related homicides in the
family context. | sr |
