Sažetak

This article deals with the forms of social undutyfulness in villages, namely the criminal act manifesting itself in preventing an official person from performing an official act (art. 289 of CC). This criminal act perturbs the maintenance of public order, unables the state organs to carry out legal verdicts and finally disrupts the principles of solidarity and interactions in local communities. Before all, the data on criminal offences and their performers are presented. Then the authors analyse the character of the official act when, in the cource of its execution, the official persons were attacked, furthermore the place, time and way of performing a criminal act, the function of official person being attacked, personality, social rank and previous criminal records of offenders,
alcoholism and basic characteristics of criminal acts committed in groups. Presenting some factors that actually stimulate this kind of crime in villages, the authors particularly stressed the fact that very often its committment is acompanied by violence, possibly as an expression of usual reactions of socially maladjusted individuals living still in relative backward social and economic communities. Among other factors the authors mentioned unregulated neighbourhood relations and relatively large number of recidivists and habitual drinkers
among offenders. Prevention activity should be directed to the improvement of the educational and cultural standard of the population, because it, as a rule, results in the decrease of all forms of crimes, especially those followed by violence. The creation of such public opinion in villages that would resist criminal phenomena is also
of great importance. In that respect the authors attach an important function and role to the s. c. arbitrary committees already established in many villages as unofficial organs of villagers. Though the number of this kind of criminal acts, is relatively small, the authors expressed their opinion that the study of this and other similar forms of social misbehaviour is necessary and usefull for the fullier understanding of
social processes going on in villages.
