Measures must be taken against those who had committed acts of violent behaviour, but our primary responsibility is prevent the occurrence of such acts in the first place, to instil socially responsible attitudes and mindsets in our children already in the early stages of their socialisation.
The Belgrade Centre for Human Rights has published the report ‘Prohibition of Ill-treatment and Rights of Persons Deprived of their Liberty in Serbia’.
