For this reason, the domestic legislator, like the majority of other legislators, incriminates when the crime is committed against a child as a serious or heaviest form of a specific criminal offense, that is, as a special qualifying circumstance. However, in addition to the fact that, within the framework of criminal material legislation, it prescribes qualified forms of criminal acts when children are the victims, legislator, within the framework of juvenile criminal legislation and other special regulations, also prescribes other measures aimed at improving and protecting the position of the child in criminal proceedings. This is because the protection of children as victims of crime is not only a legal issue, but also a social and moral imperative, which must be taken seriously to ensure that all children receive the protection and support they need to grow and develop. In terms of what has been stated, this paper points to the regulation of the position of the child as a victim of a criminal offense, primarily at a national level, starting from general protection standards, to individual solutions in some of the specific forms of criminality where children often appear as victims – family and sexual violence. REZIME: Deca, kao i maloletnici uopšte, predstavljaju jednu od najosetljivijih društvenih grupa, te, sledstveno, krivična dela naročito teško pogađaju decu. Iz ovog razloga, domaći zakonodavac, kao i većina drugih, kao teži ili najteži oblik određenog krivičnog dela, odnosno kao kvalifikatornu okolnost inkriminiše kada je delo učinjeno prema detetu. Međutim, pored toga što u okviru krivičnog materijalnog zakonodavstva propisuje kvalifikovane oblike krivičnih dela kada se kao žrtva javljaju deca, zakonodavac, u okviru maloletničkog krivičnog zakonodavstva, ali i drugih specijalnih propisa, propisuje i druge mere uperene prema poboljšanju i zaštiti položaja deteta u krivičnom postupku. Ovo zbog toga što zaštita dece, kao žrtava krivičnih dela, nije samo pravno pitanje, već ono predstavlja društveni i moralni imperativ koji se mora shvatiti ozbiljno kako bi se osiguralo da sva deca dobiju neophodnu zaštitu koja je potrebna za njihov rast i razvoj. U smislu iznetog, ovaj rad ukazuje na regulisanje položaja deteta kao žrtve krivičnog dela, prvenstveno na nacionalnom nivou, polazeći od opštih standarda zaštite, do pojedinih rešenja u nekim od specifičnih pojavnih oblika kriminaliteta gde se deca često javljaju kao žrtve – porodično i seksualno nasilje. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode application/pdf 754507 bytes Certain aspects of the position and rights of children as victims of criminal offenses Pojedini aspekti položaja i prava deteta kao žrtve krivičnih dela info:eu-repo/semantics/review Keywords: child protection, criminal protection, Domestic violence, sexual violence Ključne reči: zaštita dece, krivičnopravna zaštita, nasilje u porodici, seksualno nasilje
