Recidivizam ili kriminalni povrat predstavlja društveno opasnu pojavu
koja se ogleda u ponovnom činjenju krivičnih djela. Ova pojava je ujedno
najbolji pokaztelj uspješnosti krivičnog prava na sprečavanju i suzbijanju
kriminaliteta. Ono što je opasnije od uobičajnog povrata, je povrat kojim se
čini krivično djelo ubistva. Sprečavati i suzbijati ove ekstremno opasne pojave
je obaveza svakog modrenog društva. Da to baš i nije jednostavno ukazuju
mnoga istraživanja. Autor upravo ovim emprijskim radom „osvjetljava“
zastupljenost ovih pojava u bosansko-hercegovačkom entitetu FBiH. Iznoseći
podatke o povratu među učiniteljima ubistava, autor želi alarmirati i podstaći
akademsku zajednicu na djelovanje jer ljudski život je i suviše dragocijen.
Ukazujući na pojedine karakteristike povratnika autor ujedno predstavlja i
moguće uzroke kriminalnog povrata, ali i na potrebu preispitivanja važećih
zakonskih „rješenja“ kad je riječ o suzbijanju recidiva.
Recidivism, or criminal relapse, represents a socially dangerous
phenomenon that is reflected in the repeated commission of criminal offenses.
This phenomenon is also the best indicator of the success of criminal law
in preventing and suppressing crime. What is more dangerous than the
usual relapse is the relapse that involves committing the criminal offense of
homicide. Preventing and suppressing these extremely dangerous phenomena
is the obligation of every modern society. However, many studies indicate that
this is not an easy task. The author of this empirical work sheds light on the
prevalence of these phenomena in the Bosnian-Herzegovinian entity of FB&H.
By presenting data on relapse among perpetrators of homicide, the author
underscores the urgency of the situation and urges the academic community
to take proactive measures, given the invaluable nature of human life. By
pointing out the specific characteristics of relapse, the author also presents
possible causes of criminal relapse, as well as the need to reconsider current
legal “solutions” when it comes to suppressing recidivism.
