| Popis: | Safety is a basic need, a precondition for normal living and development of an individual and the social community as a whole. Disappearance of a person in the modern society is a first-class security issue. That is also the reason to pay significant attention to this important social event, through academic and professional literature as well as the scientific and developmental research, which should analyse the structure of the missing persons, determine various individual indicators of risk and danger, as well as to connect the events related to the disappearance to various crimes, regardless if they include the victims or the perpetrators. Speaking on the police search study, especially in relation to the missing persons, it must be pointed out that it is based on causistics, giving the impression that it is strictly an empirical activity. Our goal is to give the study on the police search for missing persons a scientific content, to raise it above the pure story telling of individual successful or unsuccessful actions and their epilogues. We will there use quantitative and qualitative scientific methods in order to make our study on the search for the missing persons applicable and verifiable in the police practice. In order to introduce the readers with the social occurrence of disappearance of the missing persons in the Republic of Croatia, we will present in the article the short overview of the previous completed researches and analyses and the preliminary announcement regarding the future research that would already start in 2013. |
