The evolution of Serbian penal policy was marked by significant political events and shifting state priorities. The criminal justice system transitioned from a socialist, rehabilita…
An Examination of Police Officers’ Self-Legitimacy
Police (self-)legitimacy is dialogical in nature and influenced by social contexts. In this comparative study, conducted on a national sample of 1,380 police officers in Slovenia, collected over three periods, the stability of police officers’ self-legitimacy and its antecedents are tested. The regression models revealed differences in self-legitimacy and its antecedents across periods, supporting the thesis of the unstable nature of police self-…

Multivariate analyses showed that relations with colleagues correlated with the self-legitimacy of po…
Prison Workers' Perception of Self-legitimacy, Relations, and Professional Competencies
Self-legitimacy of prison workers
Building legitimacy in a coercive prison environment presents a significant challenge for prison workers. Drawing on data from a survey of 465 Slovenian prison workers collected in 2016 and 2022, this study aims to test the stability of prison workers’ sense of self-legitimacy, as prior research strongly suggests that the nature of such legitimacy is fundamentally unstable. Multivariate analyses showed that relationships with prisoners and the in…
European penology or European penologies
This article explores the penological map of Europe to frame European penology, based on cultural particularities that define the penal practice. One of the main characteristics of the European continent is its diversity, which is not solely reflected in the cultural particularities of nation-states, but also in the specificity of the criminal justice systems and especially the implementation of penal sanctions. Deriving from a theoretical viewpo…

Femicide and Covid-19 Pandemic
Government measures to limit the spread of COVID-19 affected crime opportunities and criminal justice systems, resulting in changes in crime trends. This article explores the effects of restrictions (lockdowns) on the number of femicides. The monthly data on femicides from 2017 to 2021 were collected in five Central and South-eastern European countries: Croatia, Hungary, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Slovenia. The total number of femicides fro…
Self-Legitimacy of Prison Workers and Treatment of Correctional Clients
Studies on self-legitimacy in the prison environment have confirmed the differences in prison workers’ perceptions of their own legitimacy in different cultural settings. This study focuses on factors influencing prison workers’ self-legitimacy and their support of the specific treatment of correctional clients in Slovenian prisons. The results highlighted good relations with correctional clients, satisfaction with payment, internalization of sub…
The Comparative Study of Prison Officers’ Self-Legitimacy and the Use of Force
In the past, scant attention has been devoted to the nature of relation between self-legitimacy and the use of force in the prison context. The current study focuses on a comparative examination of prison officers’ self-legitimacy and willingness to use force in two time periods. The data were drawn from national samples of prison officers in Slovenia collected in 2016 and 2022. The manova and regression models showed differences in self-legitima…
From Apparent Unity to Diversity
This paper presents a comprehensive study of penal policies of (former) Yugoslav countries in the last 70 years. The Yugoslavian penal policy has been unique in the sense of leniency but was by no means uniform in its implementation. A comparative analysis of the development of penal policy in the observed states, supported by statistical data on crime, conviction and prison populations, revealed that differences have been profound. While dispari…
Punitiveness in Slovenia
The paper focuses on the punitiveness and support of the death penalty among criminal justice students in Slovenia. First, a literature review on punishment and punitiveness, penal changes in Slovenia, and punitive attitudes among criminal justice students, is provided. In the second part of the paper, the results of the empirical study that took place among criminal justice students in Slovenia in 2019 are presented. Statistical analyses perform…
Self-legitimacy and use of force
The purpose of this paper is to explore self-legitimacy of prison officers and their willingness to use force against prisoners in Slovenian prisons. In 2016, 139 prison officers from all Slovenian prisons for men were surveyed. Results of OLS regression analysis revealed that relations with colleagues, supervisors’ procedural justice and age affect self-legitimacy of prison officers. Moreover, findings showed that self-legitimacy, supervisors’ p…
Prisoners’ Perceptions of Legitimacy of Prison Staff in Slovenia
This paper focuses on prisoners’ perceptions of legitimacy of prison staff in Slovenian prisons and the influence of progressiveness of the prison regime on these perceptions. The purpose of the study is to identify those factors that influence prisoners’ perceptions of legitimacy of the prison staff and to test different models of studying legitimacy in the post-socialist prison environment. Possible differences in prisoners’ perceptions of legi…
Self-Legitimacy, Organisational Commitment and Commitment to Fair Treatment of Prisoners
Recent work on legitimacy within criminal justice systems have drawn attention to self-legitimacy; that is, criminal justice professionals’ own recognition of their entitlement to power. The evidence on this aspect of legitimacy remains sparse and mainly from police studies. We know almost nothing about the self-legitimacy of prison officers. This paper contributes to filling this gap, with an empirical focus on prison officers in Slovenia. Speci…
