Specific roles and responsibilities of the police regarding victims - police officers' view

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to assess police officers' views and their current practice in dealing with victims and to test differences in their attitudes regarding their gender, personal experience of victimization and years of professional experience. Design/Methodology/Approach: A questionnaire based on the UN Declaration of basic principles of justice for victims of crime and abuse of power was applied on two generations of police officers (N=155) attending victimology course (2nd year of graduate program at the Police College in Zagreb, Croatia). Descriptive statistics, discriminant analysis and chi-square test were used. Findings: Police officers mostly agree with good standards in treating victims’ right to information, medical, psychological, material and social assistance, respect for their dignity, importance of good rapport and trust with victims, importance of special investigative techniques for certain types of victims, contact with victims in different stages of police procedures etc. Discriminant analysis revealed no significant difference regarding police officers' gender and personal experience of victimisation. Chi-square test revealed some differences regarding years of professional experience. Research limitations/Implications: The results are not generalizable since convenient sample was used. Another question to be considered is police officers' attendance of the victimology course (although the questionnaire was carried out on the first class of students), which can be expected to lead police officers into giving „proper“ answers. Future studies should include a representative sample of police officers. Practical implications: This research gives valuable information to police strategic structures regarding the evaluation of the current practice and the creation of protocols and education programmes. Originality/Value: This is (to the authors' knowledge) the first research on this topic in Croatia. It gives insight into police officers' views, their current practice and their needs in treating victims.
