Problem

The diploma thesis focused on young people, primarily students studying at the University of Maribor, their attitude towards (personal) safety and the influence of various substances, such as alcohol and drugs, on their well-being. Some young people are not aware of the importance of safety and sometimes behave as if this concept is unknown to them or insignificant. Some prefer to stay up at night, have fun and consume ** psychoactive substances** or even sell them.

They drink alcohol to socialise and create shared experiences, which are crucial for some students who are just beginning their studies at universities. They are not aware of the dangers of such behaviour. However, some students never touch alcohol or drugs.

These students try to behave responsibly and strive to achieve their goals (education, employment). During their studies, they regularly attend lectures, study and do not go to parties. Night clubs enable students to purchase alcohol at a lower price.

Drink promotions have a strong influence on student drinking and the consequences can sometimes be very serious. Excessive drinking and drug use, which is an increasing trend among young people (mostly students), also threatens public health and safety. There is always a risk of ** addiction and victimisation**, as well as breaches of public order. The diploma thesis provides several examples of incidents that have occurred in connection with this during student parties.

It also describes in detail how they were dealt with. Since the majority of Maribor students reside in student halls, their accommodation and capacity are also described. The UM Student Halls employ receptionists (among other staff) who strive to ensure that students comply with certain rules for student halls.

The task of receptionists is to ensure the safety of students and student halls, but it often happens that they have to deal with violations by students, especially on certain nights. Students themselves sometimes make this impossible because they are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. In such a state, it is difficult to communicate with them, as they can be rude, uncooperative and even aggressive.

They endanger not only themselves, but also other people and their property. In connection with this, the problem of safety is presented, as well as the consequences of violating hall regulations.
