Editorial
The eight (co)authors of the five papers appearing in this issue of the Journal of Criminal Justice and Security reflect on relevant contemporary policing, criminal justice and broader security issues. This issue focuses on investigating ecological issues and policing, human resources development among Slovenian police Criminal Investigation Department employees, addresses the importance of police officers' physical abilities in Croatia, while dealing with violence in the workplace and discussing diplomatic assurances given in the extradition process. A diverse issue in its nature, but very interesting and contemporary in its contents.
In the first paper Water Crimes and Policing, Katja Eman, Sasa Kuhar and Gorazd Mesko discuss water as a crucial natural resource. Due to this fact, water is becoming more and more attractive for various economic and criminal groups. In the paper, the authors present crimes against water, types of water crimes, and analyse the situation in Slovenia from the police measures point of view.
David Smolej seeks to answer the question of how to strengthen employee engagement among Slovenian criminal investigators in the second paper. He describes employee engagement as a positive atmoshere in the workplace, reflected in the dedication, absorption, and psychological state, accompanied by the personal energy invested in the work. In terms of the human resources development process, there is a fundamental question for the management of the CID of how to achieve maximum engagement and commitment in investigators' work, which in turn will contribute to greater security in Slovenia.
The objective of the paper by Damir Laus and Goran Ribicic was to establish a link between Croatian police officers' motor abilities and their achievements in the martial arts. They discover some statistically relevant associations between martial arts achievements and the officers' motor abilities. The authors conclude that attention should be paid in police officers' martial arts training to developing and improving their coordination, agility as well as their explosive and repetitive strength.
In the fourth paper Violence Towards Nursing Employees in Slovenia, Branko Gabrovec presents a systematic review of research studies conducted in the field of violence directed at nursing employees in Slovenia. The purpose of his paper was to establish the types and prevalence of violence, as well as the methodology and deficiencies of the research conducted to date. The aim is for the findings to support systematic measures for preventing, reporting and surviving such violence in Slovenia.
In the last paper, Vesna Stefanovska analyses diplomatic assurances and the state's responsibility when considering extraditing a person whose human rights may be violated. The author describes the potential tension between a state's needs to protect its citizens from security risks and to respect fundamental human rights. This is illustrated by current controversies concerning the use of diplomatic assurances in the context of extradition.
We at the Journal of Criminal Justice and Security trust you find the articles worth reading and a good source of fresh ideas for both your future research and hopefully new papers.

Uvodnik
V tokratni številki revije Varstvoslovje se osem soavtorjev v petih člankih loteva izzivov sodobne policijske dejavnosti, kazenskega pravosodja in širših varnostnih problemov. Natančneje, v pričujoči številki je poudarek na preiskovanju okoljskih izzivov in policijske dejavnosti, krepitvi delovne zavzetosti med slovenskimi kriminalisti, raziskovanju pomembnosti fizičnih sposobnosti policistov na Hrvaškem, preprečevanju nasilja na delovnem mestu ter proučevanju diplomatskih zagotovil v postopkih izročitve. Raznolika, hkrati pa vsebinsko zelo zanimiva in aktualna številka.
V	prvem članku Policijsko delo na področju kriminalitete zoper vodo Katja Eman, Saša Kuhar in Gorazd Meško proučujejo vodo, enega izmed ključnih naravnih virov. Prav zaradi slednjega postaja voda središče zanimanja za različne gospodarske in kriminalne skupine. Avtorji predstavijo kriminaliteto zoper vodo, oblike kriminalitete in analizirajo stanje v Sloveniji z vidika policijskega ukrepanja.
David Smolej v svojem članku poskuša odgovoriti na vprašanje, kako okrepiti delovno zavzetost slovenskih kriminalistov. Delovno zavzetost opisuje kot pozitivno vzdušje na delovnem mestu, ki se odraža v predanosti in vključenosti, ter kot psihološko stanje, ki ga spremlja vlaganje osebne energije v delo. Z vidika procesa razvoja človeških virov se ključni izziv za vodstvo Uprave kriminalistične policije nanaša na doseganje čim večje zavzetosti in predanosti delu kriminalistov, kar bo prispevalo k večji varnosti v Sloveniji.
Namen članka Damirja Lauša in Gorana Ribičiča je ugotoviti povezanost motoričnih sposobnosti policistov z njihovo uspešnostjo pri borilnih veščinah. Njune analize kažejo na statistično pomembno povezanost med uspešnostjo pri borilnih veščinah in motoričnimi sposobnostmi policistov. Avtorja skleneta, da je treba pri policijskem treningu borilnih veščin posvetiti pozornost razvoju in izboljšanju koordinacije, agilnosti in eksplozivne ter repetitivne moči policistov.
V	četrtem članku Nasilje nad zaposlenimi v zdravstveni negi v Sloveniji Branko Gabrovec predstavi sistematični pregled raziskav s področja nasilja, usmerjenega proti zaposlenim v zdravstveni negi v Sloveniji. Namen prispevka je ugotoviti oblike in prevalenco nasilja ter proučiti metode in pomanjkljivosti opravljenih raziskav. Ugotovitve bi lahko vodile v razvoj in podporo sistematičnih ukrepov za preprečevanje, prijavljanje ter pomoč žrtvam tovrstnega nasilja v Sloveniji.
V	zadnjem članku Vesna Stefanovska analizira diplomatska zagotovila in odgovornost države pri obravnavanju izročitve oseb, ki so jim morda kršene človekove pravice. Avtorica izpostavlja potencialno napetost med potrebami države po zaščiti svojih državljanov pred tveganji nacionalne varnosti in med spoštovanjem temeljnih človekovih pravic. To ponazarja s perečimi polemikami glede uporabe diplomatskih zagotovil na področju izročitve.
V	uredništvu revije Varstvoslovje verjamemo, da so članki vredni branja in dober vir svežih idej za vaše prihodnje raziskave ter nove prispevke.
