Sažetak
Ksenija Butorac, PhD Ljiljana Mikšaj-Todorović, PhD Marijan Šuperina, PhD Candidate Police College, Ministry of the Interior, Zagreb, Croatia Faculty of Education and Rehabilitation Sciences, Zagreb, Croatia FEATURES OF ELDERLY MISSING PERSONS AS FACILITATING OF EFFICIENT POLICE SEARCH FACTORS Abstract Given the lack of professional knowledge base for the development of prevention strategies within the general project1 the specially designed research encompasses the collection and systematization of data on elderly missing persons for the City of Zagreb in order to create more efficient partnership search and subsequent care of missing elderly persons derived from indicators of vulnerability and threat assessment. The purpose of this paper is to give the preliminary data on some features of missing elderly persons and police measures and activities to be undertaken in cases of elderly missing persons’ inquiries in the Zagreb City area. Data from 170 reports of elderly missing persons over the age of 60 were gathered during 2010, 2011 and in 2012 were extracted from a missing persons police database in the Zagreb City area. The results are consistent with the fact that special category of elderly missing individuals belongs to those with mental illnesses and disorders. Significance of these data partly indicates the reasons and motives of disappearance and the need for additional police training. Further data elaboration from this research would provide differences in reasons and motives of disappearance between elderly individuals who don’t and the ones who suffer from mental disorders. Outcomes in this regard would contribute to improvement of police good practice. Ultimately, further data elaboration will examine specific circumstances in more details in cases when the person has been found dead and has not been found at all in order to improve police practice.
