- Abstract
Primarily the subject of this paper are the phenomenological characteristics of the illicit trafficking in arms, ammunition and explosives on the territory of the Republic of Macedonia, especially comparative correlation analysis between two time periods of 10 years (time period 1 (1989-1998) and time period*2 (2001-2010)). The main purpose is primarily getting a clearer picture of the phenomenological features of this type of crime in the period just before the Macedonia's independence in 1991 through the arm conflict in 2001 until 2010, and predicting the future crime trends. Design: For the phenomenological research we used statistical method, comparative method and content analysis. Findings: Illicit trafficking in arms, ammunition and explosives on the territory of the Republic of Macedonia has a high crime rate and is characterized by an extensive criminal phenomenology. The data tell us that in the future this type of crime will still be a problem in R. of Macedonia. Originality/Value: The authors of this paper decided to conduct a phenomenological research because this is a type of crime where the etiology is just an assumption, speculation, theory and it can't be confirm with an empirical research. On the other hand scientific results obtained by studying the phenomenological characteristics tell us indirectly about the crime factors that led to committing illegal arms trade.
