Coping with imprisonment
The life of convicts in prison is a highly complex subject studied by many scientific disciplines, each helping to better understand the intricate dynamics, processes, and outcomes of prison life with the goal of improving it.

Moralna i socijalna klima u zatvorima
Monografija „Moralna i socijalna klima u zatvorima“, bavi se analizom mnoštva faktora koji oblikuju pojam od kojeg u znatnoj meri zavisi kvalitet života u zatvorima – njihovu moralnu i socijalnu klimu. Autori temu sagledavaju sa različitih aspekata – sociološkog, pravnog i iz ugla specijalne edukacije i rehabilitacije. Imajući u vidu povezanost između teorija o pojmu, cilju i opravdanosti kazni i kažnjavanja sa jedne strane i tipa sistema izvršen…

Feminist criticism of the concept of resilience
The concept of resilience originated in engineering and environmental systems theories. Resilience entered humanities relatively recently as a new theoretical and practical approach to addressing challenges and risks in both macro and micro-communities. The concept of resilience is being criticized for theoretical fluidity behind it, difficulties related to its empirical verification and for being ideologically embedded in the neoliberal framewor…
The resilience concept in sociology
In this paper, we introduce the social dimension of the term resilience which is different than all the other theoretical disciplines that use this term. The connection between the concept of resilience and the theory of social systems is viewed from a critical standpoint, and also with different ontological perspectives in regard to understanding resilience. The resilience as it exists in ecological or socio - ecological theories in social reali…
Positive and negative aspects of social capital
The paper analyzes social capital's properties in relation with the level at which it is generated, as a type of social capital. The second part of the paper is dedicated to examining of possibilities for implementation of the concept of social capital in various social and political circumstances. Analysis of the Putnam's concept of social capital in reviewing of the process of democratization of post-communist societies has shown that assessmen…
Women in prison
The paper presents the results of an empirical study of prison deprivations suffered by women, conducted at the Female Department of Correctional Facility in Pozarevac within the scope of a wider study of women's prison system. It was supposed that female prisoners in this penal institution face similar prison experience and suffer the same or similar deprivations as women in other penal institutions do. The research sample included female prison…
Serbia and (anti)heroes

The situation in Serbia during the last two decades was particularly the object of attention in an attempt to fortify the assumption that …
