Sažetak
This paper starts from the assumption that the Roma, as members of a specific minority group in Istria, will be discriminated in many ways by other citizens, less satisfied with the protection offered to them by the society and so express different opinions about the level of information of the public by the police. The general aim of this paper would, thus, be to gain an insight in the opinions of the Roma and other Istrian residents about some aspects of the level of information of the public by the police. The sample is made by 200 members of the minority group of the Roma residents of the Istrian County and 200 other residents of the same. The results show that there are differences in the opinions of the Roma and other Istrian residents about some aspects of the level of information of the public by the police. However, these differences were not shown as significant. The importance of the education of the Roma is pointed out in the paper. It should become a possible intercultural medium of their integration, lower assimilation, reinforcement of cultural autonomy and accessibility to various services and information.
