In this paper, the author discusses the fundamental characteristic of criminological research methods, with specific reference to fundamental and applied research. The significance of these forms of research is invaluable particularly in terms of their joint implementation as it implies the process of detecting and collecting data on some form of criminal behavior and establishing the most effective measures to prevent such behavior. In that context, the author endeavors to demonstrate the importance of fundamental and applied research by focusing on the criminogenic factors associated with murderers in the territory of South-eastern Serbia. The subject matter is observed in light of the murderers' gender, age, mental capacity and culpability. The findings of the applied research conducted on this issue set solid grounds for developing efficient homicide prevention measures.

FUNDAMENTALNO I PRIMENJENO ISTRAŽIVANJE - KO SU UBICE NA TERITORIJI JUGOISTOČNE SRBIJE?
U ovom radu autor razmatra osnovne karakteristike kriminološke metode, s posebnim osvrtom na fundamentalna i primenjena istraživanja. Značaj ovih istraživanja je nemerljiv, jer se njihovim zajedničkim sprovođenjem otkriva određeni oblik kriminalnog ponašanja, a ujedno se nalaze najefikasnije mere za prevenciju takvog ponašanja. U tom kontekstu, autor nastoji da pokaže značaj fundamentalnih i primenjenih istraživanja, usmeravajući se na kriminogene faktore povezana sa ubicama na teritoriji jugoistočne Srbije. Predmet se posmatra kroz prizmu pola ubica, starosti i uračunljivosti i vinosti. Saznavanjem odgovora na postavljena pitanja, stvara se dobra osnova za izgradnju efikasnih mera prevencije ubistava.
