AB  - Background/Aim. The Structured Inventory of Malingered Symptomatology (SIMS) is a self-report measure to
be used with adults, which may be utilized to assess the
potential malingering of psychosis, neurologic impairment, amnesia, low intelligence, or affective disorder.
The aim of the study was to examine the discriminant validity of SIMS under conditions of simulating symptoms
of neurological and memory disorders, in response to a
hypothetical situation, after watching a recording of an
actual car accident in which a motorcycle rider sustained
head injuries. Methods. The study involved 94 students
(35 men and 59 women) from the University of Criminal
Investigation and Police Studies in Belgrade and the Faculty of Medicine – Special Education and Rehabilitation
in Novi Sad, aged 20–26 [arithmetic mean = 20.69;
standard deviation (SD) = 0.80], divided into two groups
(n = 47), malingerer and control. The malingerer group
was instructed to identify with the motorcycle rider hit
by the car and malinger symptoms related to neurological
difficulties and amnesia in order to obtain greater reimbursement from the insurance company. The control
group had instructions to honestly assess the probability
of occurrence of the symptoms. Results. The results of
the multivariate one-way analysis of variance suggested
that the effect of experimental manipulation was statistically significant [F (88, 5) = 91.21, p < 0.001; η2p =
0.838]. Univariate effects were also statistically significant
for all five scales. Participants in the malingerer group
scored higher on all five scales than participants in the
control group. The magnitudes of the effects support the
largest differences between the malingerer and control
groups on the scales of Memory Disorders and Neurological Disorders, which was also the basic instruction
for simulating symptoms given to the participants in the
malingerer group. Conclusion. The obtained results
support the discriminant validity of the SIMS questionnaire in the situation of simulating symptoms of neurological disorders and memory disorders.

Structured Inventory of Malingered Symptomatology (SIMS) je mera samoprocene koja se koristi kod odraslih osoba, a može
biti korišćena za procenu potencijalnog razvoja psihoze,
neurološkog oštećenja, amnezije, niske inteligencije ili
afektivnog poremećaja. Cilj rada bio je da se ispita diskriminativna validnost SIMS-a u uslovima simuliranja simptoma neuroloških oštećenja i poremećaja pamćenja u odgovoru na hipotetičku situaciju, nakon gledanja snimka realne saobraćajne nezgode u kojoj je vozač motocikla zadobio povrede glave.

94 studenta (35 muškaraca i 59 žena) Kriminalističkopolicijskog univerziteta u Beogradu i Medicinskog
fakulteta – smer Specijalna edukacija i rehabilitacija u Novom Sadu, starosti od 20–26 godina [aritmetička sredina =
20.69; standardna devijacija (SD) = 0.80)], koji su bili podeljeni u dve grupe (n = 47), kontrolnu grupu i grupu ispitanika koji su simulirali simptome. Grupa ispitanika koji su
simulirali simptome imala je zadatak da se poistoveti sa
motociklistom kojeg je udario automobil i da simulira neurološke simptome i amneziju, sa ciljem da dobiju više
novca od osiguravajuće kompanije. Kontrolna grupa imala
je zadatak da iskreno proceni koji simptomi bi mogli nastati nakon saobraćajne nesreće. Rezultati. Rezultati multivarijatne jednosmerne analize varijanse su pokazali da je
efekat eksperimentalne manipulacije bio statistički značajan [F(88, 5) = 91.21, p < 0.001; η2p = 0.838]. Univarijatni
efekti su takođe bili statistički značajni za svih pet skala.
Ispitanici iz kontrolne grupe postizali su niže skorove na
svih pet skala u odnosu na ispitanike iz grupe koja je simulirala simptome. Veličine efekata govore u prilog najvećih
razlika između grupe koja je simulirala simptome i
kontrolne grupe na skalama Poremećaji pamćenja i Neurološka oštećenja, što je ujedno i bila osnovna instrukcija
za simuliranje simptoma kod te grupe ispitanika.
Zaključak. Dobijeni rezultati idu u prilog diskriminativne
validnosti upitnika SIMS u situaciji simuliranja simptoma
neuroloških oštećenja i poremećaja pamćenja.

AB  - The paper presents a study that aimed to examine the reliability of episodic memory by varying the retention time from the moment of initial observation of two incidents to the moment of communicating what was actually remembered. Ninety (90) students aged 21-26 from the University of Criminal Investigation and Police Studies participated in the research (50 males and 40 females). The interval of retention presented an independent variable on four levels: immediately after watching a recording, after 1 month, after 3 months and after 6 months. The accuracy of recall, or remembering one aspect of the incident (characteristics of the event, characteristics of the perpetrators and characteristics of the victim) was a dependent variable. Results suggest that memory accuracy declines dramatically after a month, but also after three and six months, when the downward trend in memory accuracy is less pronounced. Regarding the degree of confidence in memory accuracy, the pattern of results is practically identical to that of memory accuracy. As a whole, the results indicate that the retention interval strongly affects both accuracy and certainty in memory accuracy, regardless of the type of crime and the characteristics being evaluated.

AB  - The paper presents research in the form of a survey aimed at examining the sociodemographic and criminal profile of the perpetrator of the
crime of displaying, acquiring and possession of pornographic material and
exploitation of a juvenile for pornography under Article 185 of the Criminal
Code of Serbia, with particular reference to the imposed criminal sanctions.
The survey was conducted at the beginning of 2018 and included 62 convicted
male persons aged 18 to 70, prosecuted under jurisdiction of the Special Prosecutor’s Office for Combating High-Tech Crime in the period from 2012 to
2016. The results of the research show that the perpetrators of the said criminal
offense are exclusively male individuals of an average age of 36.6 years, whose
structure in terms of the working status is extremely diverse, starting from
workers of various occupations, students to pensioners. In terms of other socio-demographic characteristics, the results of the survey show that the largest
percentage of the convicted offenders have completed secondary school, that
the number of the employed and unemployed is the same, that they are not
married, gravitate towards urban areas, and have not been convicted before.
In terms of the modus operandi, the results of the survey show that two methods of execution are dominant: the first implies the use of P2P technology on
the Internet and the use of certain closed networks, which allow searching,
downloading and sharing of photos and audio-visual data whereas the other
involves creating a false profile on the Facebook social network.
