Abstract

This work examines the public safety and law enforcement system of the Danube Banovina, allowing insight into prevailing conditions throughout the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Particular attention is paid to the relationship of law enforcement officers towards citizens and members of the ethnic minorities. Officer compliance with duties was frequently contingent on pressures from the central administration. Sources for this research include the holdings of the Royal Administration of the Danube Banovina belonging to the Archives of Vojvodina, as well as the Official Gazette of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
