The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes failed to combine partial rationalities of economical and technical efficiency and the security measures with the societal sensibility, which resulted in psychophysical consequences of the resistance to the state. It happened due to the fear that the acknowledgement of the societal sensibility could negate the relative importance of the security and its need in practice. The attempt of the government to diminish this pattern on a local level was in contradiction with the practice of distortion of legal system, which was frequently supported from the center of state and political power. Local authorities from time to time used repressive methods even one against the other in the cases of the lack of trust and cooperation. Local authorities risked their reputation in an attempt to maintain their superior authority. For the people repression was embodied in persons in power, ranging from the local administrator or municipality leader to state ministers and the ruler. The government resembled a patriarchal community that was even to be warned about the consequences of the acts improper in the rural context. Consequently, all of the social strata and groups had their own perception of repression, which led to the lack of accordance on the general view on the purpose of repressive measures and the ways of their implementation.
