Purpose:
This paper deals with the work of newly established Local Prevention Councils [LPC] in city of
Skopje and its role in prevention of various socio-pathological phenomena.
Methods:
Mainly qualitative research methods are being used for gathering, analysing and interpreting
the results of the research. We carried out 20 non-structured, informal interviews in which
members of LPC from city of Skopje and municipalities of Skopje are being interviewed. In
addition, we also use content analyses of the national legal legislation covering the LPC work in
Republic of Macedonia.
Findings:
The paper is aimed to show the state and role of LPC in city of Skopje, Republic of Macedonia
and to assess the achievements of their work so far. The used methodology and theoretical
insight are expected to give clearer picture on the legitimacy of their work, assess their real
role and contribution in prevention of socio-pathological phenomena, as well as to point out to
the weaknesses of their work. As a result, the authors give recommendations and proposals on
how to improve legal framework and heighten the degree of efficiency of LPC in dealing with
prevention of socio-pathological phenomena within the city of Skopje.
Research limitations:
In general, the limitations of the paper could be seen in the methods used for gathering the
data, as well as in the fact that this problem, to the authors’ knowledge, has not been scientifically
researched so far in Republic of Macedonia. The implications could be summed up in the useful
recommendations and proposals that will arise from research and could be of use to LPC in
improving their work and effectiveness in prevention of socio-pathological phenomena.
Originality:
The originality of the paper could be seen in researching of the relatively new phenomena in
prevention such as LPC, but also in providing new insights on many possibilities for improvement
of their work and efficiency, given the organizational, contextual and legal improvements that
could be implemented in the future.
