Sažetak
In this article the State Attorneys’ dismissals of crime reports submitted by the police are analyzed. In the pre-trial criminal procedure the incidence of dismissals of police reports for the time period 2003-2010 is in average 13.47% of the total number of submitted crime reports. The chosen subject became particularly interesting in the police environment since the implementation of the new Criminal Procedure Act by which relationship of the State Attorney's Office and police is regulated in a different way than before. The article is the result of work of authors in the field of the dismissals of crime reports, particularly with regard to regulation and compliance of the methodology of monitoring of the dismissals of crime reports and procedures of the analysis of the reasons for dismissals, with the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Act and the Act on Police Duties and Powers, relating to running of police records, the protection of personal data and deleting data about the offender and/or a criminal offence that is recorded in the Information system of the MoI. The article proposes solutions regarding to the issues of compliance and monitoring of dismissals of crime reports on the Information system of the MoI in order to avoid unnecessary "manual" processing of data so that data entered into the Information system of the MoI serve as a basis for making the necessary analysis and reports related to the dismissals of crime reports. For this reason, beside the theoretical definitions of crime reports, legal sources governing the dismissal of police crime reports and the factors that affect the state attorney and police officer in the system of criminal prosecution, this article comprises also statistics and their analysis in relation to submitted crime reports, the structure of crime reports with respect to a particular group of criminal offences which are defined by certain chapters of the Criminal Code, on submitters of crime reports and the number and reasons for the dismissals according to so called lines of work in the MoI. The authors of this article suggest the adoption of a new nomenclature of monitoring of dismissed police crime reports because the current nomenclature is obsolete and inadequate for practical purposes.
