MASS SHOOTING: A NEW PHENOMENON IN SLOVAK MEDICOLEGAL WORK EXPERIENCE

Анотація

Crime and criminality have a long history in various cultures of the world. In Slovakia, particularly organized criminality began to fully develop in the 90-ties of the 20th century. In most cases with lethal end, an attack was led against one or two persons. Only one "massacre", in which 10 members of one "underworld clan“ were killed, was recorded. Despite the existence of organized crime in Slovakia, no case was monitored, in which one individual would use a firearm against several people, as often happens in the U.S. or in Western Europe.
