Abstract

The aim of this research is to scientifically describe the effects of Intelligence - Led Policing as a strategic way of managing police affairs in preventing and combating the crime of robbery under Article 206 of the Criminal Code in the Republic of Serbia. The research was conducted as a theoretical one and general scientific and logical methods were used in its realization. The effects of the application of the Intelligence - Led Policing have not been analyzed so far in the national scientific and professional literature, and the paper presents the results of the research, which focus on the philosophy and effects of the application of the model, including the importance of operational management and criminal intelligence in crime prevention acts of robbery in the Republic of Serbia. The results of the research concluded that, unlike traditional models of police work, the application of the Intelligence - Led Policing contributed to the reduction of the number of robberies committed under Article 206 of the Criminal Code, as indicated by statistical data for 2018 (compared to 2017, decreased by 16.85%) and 2019 (compared to 2018, decreased by 24.2%). The effects of the application of the model are evident in large urban areas, where out of the total number, only 40% of robbery crimes were committed in the city of Belgrade alone, and whose trend in 2019 showed decrease of 36.5%.
