Abstract

In this article, we tried to communicate with modern theoretical concepts of policing (public and private). Policing, as a notion and a concept, still hasn’t find proper place in Serbian criminology and security concepts. We draw special attention to recent attempts in literature to classify private policing and to some heuristic explanations of private policing, revealing its social backgrounds.
