Researchers of the Faculty of Criminal Justice and Security, University of Maribor, have been conducting research on Safety and Security in Local Communities since 2015. Students, as future professionals in the fields of criminal justice and security, actively participate in researching local safety and security perspectives. In 2024, the seventh international student conference will cover contemporary perspectives on safety and security in tourism.
