Sažetak
This paper will present the course of criminality growth over the last decade. The noted growth of criminality and recidivism is pointing to the fact that the prevention strategies are either not functioning properly or they posses serious gaps. The reasons of such state can be multiple. Before all, it depends on a country’ s politics towards criminal activities, willingness towards problem solving, organizational possibilities which include, among other things, financing, connecting various institutions and achieving the appropriate level of expertness. This paper will be mainly focused on the problems of education of professionals working on all levels of prevention. In the Republic of Croatia since the beginning of the 80’ s of the last century, a great number of different educations from the various psycho-terapeutic forms (such as reality therapy, transactional analysis, cybernetics of psychoterapy, neuro-lingvistic programming, gestalt, etc.) is being conducted. They are bringing together professionals of various work profiles who all work in the field of human sciences, from the kindergarden teachers to the prison rehabilitation teams. These education programs are often financed by the institutions themselves (in most cases not sufficient enough). Regarding the fact that the only indicators of prevention effectiveness on the criminal activities and recidivism growth are the ones mentioned above, it would be logical to conclude that all of the undertaking efforts are either insufficient or aimed wrongfully. Analysing the situation regarding the education of professionals and the usability of such education in their work in government institutions, we conclude that the Republic of Croatia is in a very unpleasant situation. The arguments are following: - the Republic of Croatia still does not posses the understanding on which forms of psychoterapy are officially recognized (short of psychoanalysis) - there is still no sufficient data on which forms of psychoterapy are the most effective in treating different populations - the acquired knowledge is rarely used for the purposes of making precise treatment programs for any of the institutions in which these professionals are employed - existence of inertia and hardness inside institutions towards accepting the changes - there is no co-.operation between institutions - the professionals have no knowledge about creating programs that can be scientifically evaluated and, in that way, presenting the efficacy of those programs - there is always the problem of insufficient funds which results in the unsatisfactory number of educated professionals - education programs are not lasting long enough This is only a few of a great number of arguments. In this paper the authors will make out the analysis of reasons for such a poor usage of acquired knowledge from the various psychoterapeutic forms and will also give the prepositions for it’ s improvement.
