“…Although the police implement significant measures that limit human rights, such as the curfew that lasts for several days, it could be expected that the level of trust would decrease in comparison to those in normal, peaceful conditions. However, if compared to the recent research conducted in Serbia (Spasić and Radovanović, 2019) during ordinary conditions, the trust in the police has increased slightly (4.25:4.33). How can we explain this phenomenon?…”

“…questions related to those variables – wear protective masks, wear protective gloves, have the appropriate equipment, keep distance, level of training, more conversations and explanations, strict movement control, self-isolation control, trust in the police, level of preparedness, etc.). Several published survey approaches were consulted and (Cvetković et al , 2018; Spasić and Radovanović, 2019; Brown and Benedict, 2002) adapted according to COVID-19 in Serbia.

PurposeThe aim of the study is to determine the perception of general public on the Serbian police behaviors in combating COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the perception of the citizens how successful the police units were in fulfilling their tasks.Design/methodology/approachDue to the state of emergency declared due to COVID-19 pandemic, in particular the restriction of movement and the need for social distance, the data collection for this study had to be conducted via the online survey platform (Google.doc). The study was conducted during March–April 2020, only four weeks after the state of emergency was declared. The participants were invited to complete the online questionnaire in their native language by using the snowball sampling strategy focused on recruiting the general public via social media tools.FindingsConsidering the fact that police officers are not sufficiently prepared and trained to respond in these specific circumstances, it is necessary to improve their engagement in the future by conducting appropriate training, procuring adequate resources, implementing adequate planning activities, etc. The results of the multivariate regressions of public perception preparedness subscale show that the most important predictor is gender and it explains 23.6% of the variance in preparedness subscale. The remaining variables did not have significant effects on preparedness. This model with all mentioned independent variables explains 6.1% of the variance of preparedness subscale.Originality/valueBearing in mind that there were no completed studies on public perception of police behaviors about the COVID-19 disaster in Serbia, the research has a considerable scientific and social importance.

“…In fact, such actions never have a noble characteristic because in essence they eliminate mutual trust between the perpetrators and other people, and ultimately damage the order and harmony of people's lives [11]. Ironically, criminal acts of fraud are not only carried out by ordinary people [12], but every person from all social stratification, starting from the lower classes of society to state officials, even the control holders eradicate fraud at once. For example, at some time in the past a group of residents in Bali were deceived by a notary in transactions in the land sector.…”

The study reports the application of the Material Criminal Law by the Public Prosecutor against perpetrators of fraudulent offenses, especially notaries, with a decision number: 207/pid.b/2014/pn. This type of study is normative study. The results indicate that to achieve material truth by the Panel of Judges of the State District Court is conducted by carefully examining all the acts, events or circumstances that took place during the trial where the facts were extracted from the evidence in the form of witnesses, statements of the defendant and evidence. Apparently these correspond to one another so that it is believed that the actions of the suspect constituted a criminal act that intentionally helped to commit fraud, so that the act violates the provisions of Article 378 in conjunction with Article 65 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code and the judge sentences the defendants for 2-year imprisonment.
