Abstract


The paper examines new religious movements and their potential for endangering various security aspects, focusing on the situation in the Republic of Serbia. The first part of the paper contains an overview of the interaction of new religious movements and the sphere of security in contemporary global circumstances. In the second part, the characteristics of many serious criminal offenses are studied, using individual examples from domestic practice, related to the activities of new religious movements or to the perpetrators’ alternative religious beliefs. The third part of the paper contains an assessment of the security-threatening potential of new religious movements on the territory of the Republic of Serbia. In conclusion, certain new religious movements can indisputably represent threats to certain spheres of security, but such threats rarely affect the vital interests of the state and society.


Keywords
