  • "Stop and search" [Elektronski vir] : Slovenian police officers' perspective
    Milenkov, Mirče ; Modic, Maja, policijska dejavnost
    Purpose: The purpose of the article is to find out what attitudes police officers in Slovenia have towards the use of powers that can be classified as stop and search police powers. These powers are ... regulated in Slovenian legislation by the Police Tasks and Powers Act and include establishing the identification of person, security searches and searches of the person. Design/Methods/Approach : The article is based on a review of literature and the findings of interviews conducted with Slovenian police officers in various working environments and various positions. Findings: We found that the legal regulation of the powers in question is relatively adequate, although certain weaknesses exist that allow the possibility of abuse, particularly in the case of the power to establish identity. We also found that police officers are very well aware of the importance of their attitude when dealing with members of the public in police procedures. Some interviewees also highlighted the fact that police powers in Slovenia are not fully comparable to stop and search police powers as they are known in the United Kingdom. Research Limitations/Implications: We limited ourselves to Slovenian police officers, where, however, the sample is not representative, meaning that we cannot generalise the results to all uniformed police officers. Originality/Value: Stop and search police powers in Europe and elsewhere are subject to strong criticism because of frequent cases of discriminatory use (both alleged and proven) and links to racism and police violence. Therefore this topic should also be addressed by research in Slovenia, above all from the point of view of the legitimacy of police work and good relations with the community. Our research thus offers a partial insight into the police officers’ perception of the use of the powers in question and highlights key needs for further research.
