The Internet has enabled the download and sharing of data in digital form, learning, information, business, entertainment, and inclusion in social networks. However, the development of the Internet has also led to the emergence of various forms of digital violence. Minors who cannot adequately react to this violence are particularly susceptible to victimisation. The subject of this paper is the phenomenon of peer violence in the digital environment, viewed from a victimology perspective. The paper presents the basic phenomenological characteristics of this form of violence and the typology of victims and perpetrators. This paper aims to point out the importance of a victimology approach to the problem of cyber violence and the need to implement programs to prevent violence and protect victims of peer violence in the digital environment. By comparing the characteristics of perpetrators and victims in the digital environment, we can gain valuable insights that can contribute to the prevention of this form of peer violence.","PeriodicalId":41858,"journal":{"name":"Temida","volume":"129 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68853949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research sample consisted of women (N=52) who were clients of women?s shelters in Croatia. The pandemic worsened the financial situation of participants and led to changes in the substance use by participants? partners. Since the introduction of lockdown, there has been an increase in all forms of violence, ranging from 26% (economic violence) to 46% (psychological violence). Participants were most likely to seek help from social welfare centres and the police and showed relatively high resilience and relatively favourable scores on the depression, anxiety, and stress scales.","PeriodicalId":41858,"journal":{"name":"Temida","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68854026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the risk to people's health, personal communication has been completely changed and most professional activities and contacts must take place in a cyber environment, with the help of computers and mobile telephony. On-line communication and the use of social networks undoubtedly represent a conditio sine qua non in a situation when compliance with numerous preventive measures are required, including the work from home, online teaching in schools, a ban on gatherings etc. The positive aspects of this kind of communication are undoubtedly obvious and necessary, but they also created new forms of victimization due to insecure protocols for sending e-mails, inadequate level of privacy protection, insufficient information security, the existence of so-called security holes and the use of the same devices and digital services for professional and private purposes. Hacking phishing activities during the pandemic mostly endangered the security of confidential data collected within medical information systems, educational institutions, and in the field of banking, when the user is expected to compromise his/her digital identity and publish his/her data. The subject of this paper is the presentation of some of the most common phishing activities and identity theft in the field of health care, provision of health services, procurement of medicines and vaccines against coronavirus, which have been recorded in the world since the beginning of the pandemic. The phishing activities that will be presented in this paper significantly contribute to the further spread of panic from the misuse of medical data of infected persons and their contacts. The paper aims to point out the most common forms of victimization that have appeared around the world, as a consequence of cyber security violations due to hacker attacks during the COVID- 19 pandemic. Special emphasis in the paper is on these ?pandemic? cyber dangers, as well as on the mechanisms for avoiding this type of victimization.","PeriodicalId":41858,"journal":{"name":"Temida","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68853929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This approach has been successfully implemented worldwide in management, the non-profit sector, health care, education, community development and other fields. Problem- solving gets replaced with innovation and by identifying the positive core that gives life to an organisation, a group, or a community when it is vital, effective, and successful. The concept is based on the heliotropic principle: that people move toward those things that give them energy and life. AI starts from the inquiry of the inner values of an individual and his/her positive images of the future that motivate and drive him/her towards affirmations and positive visions of the future. This paper considers the possibilities of implementation of AI in the field in which it has not been applied so far: in victims' support programmes. The first part of the paper presents the principles, methodology, and phases of AI. Examples of good practices are presented in the second part of the paper. The third part introduces possibilities, methods, and expected outcomes of the implementation of AI in victims' support programmes. The author concludes that AI has great potential to be implemented in victims' support programmes as an additional programme for their empowerment and envisioning optimistic expectations in future. It is expected that AI workshops would empower victims to successfully overcome the consequences of victimisation and achieve personal growth at the same time. The paper aims to consider the potential of AI regarding its implementation as additional content in victims' support and assistance programmes.","PeriodicalId":41858,"journal":{"name":"Temida","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68853812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of the study was to explore various challenges street vendors faced during the COVID-19 lockdown and to highlight the vulnerability of this particular group of informal workers. The data was collected through face-to-face interviews with the use of a questionnaire, on a sample of 150 street vendors from the District Srinagar. In addition, a certain number of in-depth interviews with selected respondents from the sample was done. The study findings show that the majority of the respondents have lost their job during the peak period of COVID-19, i.e. from March to July 2020. The findings have also revealed that the lockdown directly impacted the socio-economic conditions of the workers which made it very difficult for them to survive during the peak of COVID-19. Additionally, workers were struggling very hard in order to fulfill the basic daily needs of their families. Therefore, it is suggested that the government of India should provide financial support to street vendors in order to compensate for the loss caused due to the COVID-19 lockdown.","PeriodicalId":41858,"journal":{"name":"Temida","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68854103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this regard, it is possible to look at, especially from the conceptual-theoretical, as well as the accompanying applicative aspect, and give a conceptual demarcation of (gender) equality in relation to the institute of women?s inequality as an established vulnerable category in workplaces. For many years throughout history in traditional and patriarchal societies, women had a subordinate position with an emphasis on the dominance of the paternalistic concept of man?s position in the world of work. However, in the last decade, as more is being written, spoken, and more research is being conducted on the subject of discrimination at work, efforts have been made to solve this problem. The latest trends related to the transition to a green economy also aim to promote the importance and necessity of mitigating factual inequality between the sexes with legal measures deriving from the principle of equal opportunities and procedures in employment and work. The subject of this analysis is an overview of gender inequalities in the labour market, Norway, Slovenia and Serbia, which were taken as examples of good practices in the period from 2015 to 2021. The comparison is made with a focus on the current concept of promoting a green economy and sustainable development. The goal of the paper is to determine whether the green economy is a chance to alleviate inequality and increase equality in the labour market, or whether it carries limitations that can hardly be overcome when it comes to the world of work.","PeriodicalId":41858,"journal":{"name":"Temida","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68854260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data was collected from the state institutions and non-governmental organizations that provide assistance and protection to victims of violence. The most commonly imposed sanction for domestic violence was a suspended sentence. During the pandemic, combined forms of violence were most commonly reported, with various manifestations of physical, psychological, or economic violence, even femicide. The crisis has led to an increase in the scope of violence in families where dysfunctional relationships were previously recorded, but also to the appearance of the first forms of violence in families where violence had not occurred before.
