The work deals with the analysis of attitudes toward people with disabilities. In the introduction there is a short analysis of the concepts of disability and attitudes in general, as well as an ...overview of new research in the field of influence of experience and information on attitudes. In the second part, the results of the research conducted in Zagreb and Sibenik-Knin county are given, which aims at determining the attitudes of citizens toward people with disabilities. The sample consisted of 143 respondents: 129 respondents from Zagreb and 245 respondents from Sibenik-Knin county. The research showed that 2/3 of respondents knows a person with disability. 68% of respondents thinks that access to public places for people with disabilities has somewhat improved in the past 10 years and they consider local authorities and government responsible for such behavior. The results of conducted research point to a high level of awareness of citizens of the Republic of Croatia of certain types of disabilities. 95% of respondents agree that 'something should be done in order to include people with disabilities into society more'. Sociodemographic characteristics such as sex, age and education have certain influence on attitudes, as was also shown in the mentioned research in the European Union.

This article examines violence on people with intellectual disabilities. Since this problematic issue is almost unknown in Croatian literature circles, the article's introduction gives us an insight ...into foreign research that deals with various forms of violence towards people with intellectual disabilities as well as lawful entries of violence towards the latter. The goal of this paper was to determine the level of violence targeted towards people with intellectual disabilities, what type of violence they experience the most and who are the most frequent perpetrators of such violence. The research was conducted via a semi-structured questionnaire made especially for this investigation; a total of 59 people were interviewed throughout Zagreb and the Medimurje region. The results showed that mental violence was most frequent, physical violence over people with intellectual disabilities followed, whilst there were no victims of sexual violence. The most frequent perpetrators were friends and parents. One third of the examinees had never discussed the violence. The characteristics of the respective examinees were quite different when considering factors such as age and level of disability. These findings follow the already existing research of violence on people with intellectual disabilities with limitations connected to the appropriate sample, and they refer to a more systematic dealing of this problem.

Rad se bavi analizom stavova prema osobama s invaliditetom. U uvodnom dijelu kratko se analiziraju pojmovi invaliditeta i stavova općenito te se daje osvrt na novija istraživanja provedena na ...području utjecaja iskustva i informacija na stavove. Nakon toga se prelazi na prikaz internacionalnog istraživanja na razini Europske unije o stavovima prema osobama s invaliditetom. U drugom dijelu prikazani su rezultati istraživanja provedenog na području grada Zagreba i Šibensko - kninske županije čiji je cilj bio dobiti uvid u stavove građana prema osobama s invaliditetom. Radi bolje komparacije, rezultati provedenog istraživanja uspoređivali su se s rezultatima istraživanja na razini Europske unije. Uzorak je sačinjavalo 143 ispitanika: 129 ispitanika iz Zagreba i 24 ispitanika iz Šibensko - kninske županije. Istraživanje je pokazalo da 2/3 ispitanika poznaje osobu s invaliditetom. Njih 68% smatra da se pristup javnim mjestima za osobe s invaliditetom proteklih 10 godina donekle poboljšao te
smatraju javne i državne vlasti odgovornim za to poboljšanje. Rezultati provedenog istraživanja ukazuju na priličnu osviještenost građana u Republici Hrvatskoj o određenim vrstama invaliditeta. S tvrdnjom da «nešto treba učiniti kako bi se ljudi s invaliditetom više uključili u društvo» potpuno se slaže 95% ispitanika. Sociodemografska obilježja kao što su spol, dob i obrazovanje imaju određeni utjecaj na stavove kao što pokazuje i spomenuto istraživanje u Europskoj uniji.
U ovom radu se istražuje nasilje nad osobama s intelektualnim teškoćama. Budući da je ova problematika u domaćoj literaturi gotovo nepoznata, uvodni dio donosi strana istraživanja vezana uz različite ...oblike nasilja nad osobama s intelektualnim teškoćama i zakonske odrednice nasilja nad osobama s invaliditetom. Cilj ovog rada bio je ispitati koliko su osobe s intelektualnim teškoćama žrtve nasilja, koje vrste nasilja najčešće doživljavaju i tko su najčešći počinitelji nasilja. Ispitivanje je provedeno na prigodnom uzorku od 59 ispitanika u Zagrebu i Međimurju, metodom polustrukturiranog upitnika izrađenog za ovo istraživanje.
Rezultati su pokazali da je najčešće prisutno psihičko, a zatim fizičko nasilje nad osobama s intelektualnim teškoćama, dok nije bilo žrtava seksualnog nasilja. Najčešći počinitelji su prijatelji i roditelji. Jedna trećina ispitanika nikad nije pričala o nasilju. Ispitanici se statistički značajno razlikuju s obzirom na neka obilježja kao što je dob i stupanj intelektualne teškoće.
Ovo istraživanje je na tragu postojećih istraživanja nasilja nad osobama s intelektualnim teškoćama uz ograničenja vezana uz prigodni uzorak i upućuje na sustavnije bavljenje tom problematikom.
