Viktimologija: Studije o žrtvama
The book Victimology: Studies on Victims by Zvonimir Šeparović, published in 1985, is a pioneering work in Croatian and Yugoslav legal science that systematically researches victims of criminal acts and their protection.
Šeparović, founder of the Croatian Victimology Society, analyzes the psychological, social, and legal aspects of victimology in this work, emphasizing the importance of recognizing victims as active participants in the legal system.
The book covers topics such as victims' rights, victimization prevention, domestic violence, sexual abuse, terrorism, and child abuse. The author emphasizes the need for institutional support for victims, including legal aid, psychological support, and social reintegration. Special emphasis is placed on the role of the state and society in protecting victims and on the development of legislation that recognizes and protects their rights.
Šeparović also analyzes international aspects of victimology, including war crimes and crimes against humanity, and points to the importance of international cooperation in protecting victims. His work laid the foundation for the further development of victimology as a scientific discipline in Croatia and the region.
Victimology: Victim Studies remains a relevant work for legal experts, social workers, psychologists, and all those involved in victim protection, providing an in-depth understanding of the complexity of victimization and the needs of victims.
