Zatvoreničko društvo

Špadijer-Džinić writes academically, but approachably, combining sociological theories (Durkheim, Merton) with applied research from the 1970s. The work is significant in the context of Yugoslav criminology, criticizing the rigidity of the socialist system and contributing to discussions about human rights in prisons. Critics (in sociological journals such as the Sociological Review) praise it as a pioneering analysis of prison subcultures, comparing it to works on prison sociology in Western Europe.
