Sažetak
In contemporary society, crime is a phenomenon most commonly studied in relation to certain types of offenders. Criminal offenders who are of particular interest to social scientists are sex offenders. Given that the unique characteristics of the criminal career of sex offenders are still largely unexplored, this poster will show results of the study conducted on criminal careers of Croatian sex offenders. The investigation was conducted on a sample of 49 perpetrators of sex offenses who are either currently serving or have served their sentence in one of the maximum security prisons in Croatia. The data were collected in February 2018 at the maximum security prison. The data were obtained from official records of inmates serving sentences at the time of data collections and those released in 2017 and 2016. For purposes of this study, a data collection instrument was constructed to gain insight into certain factors of the criminal career of sex offenders.
