Polish Crime Study (PBP) carried out between 2007 and 2009 was a joint project of the Police Headquarters and the Institute for Justice. The particular aim of the project, which was carried out in all 16 voivodships of Poland and in the police area of the of the Capital District, was to estimate the level of crime increase and its dark figures, evaluation of police work, and measure of fear of crime - both across the country and in each province. The research was carried out each year in the first half of January of on a random sample of 17 thousand respondents (3 thousands in each province and 3 thousand in the the Warsaw Police Headquarters area) by traditional face to face interview method. Analyzed results include 51 thousand respondents who were surveyed in 2007 - 2009. For the entire sample constructed in this way the measurement error is minimal and is in fact only 0.4% in general and 1.8% for the particular local area tests. It should be emphasised that PBP is the largest victimological study in Poland (surveys of the Institute of Justice in the previous rounds of the ICVS did not usually exceed 5 thousand respondents) and, at the same time, one of the major social surveys in our country.. The questionnaire of Polskie Badanie Przestępczości included questions related to the victimization with the following acts: robbery, assault, burglary, car theft, other theft (pickpocket, mobile phone theft, bicycle theft). The study also included a question concerning the reporting level of abovementioned acts. Much attention was paid to the perception of the police and fear of the crime in the measurement tool (such items were generally modeled on the Polish version of the ICVS questionnaire). The study included a total of 12 positions and 10 measurable questions. Positions related to offenses and their applications were relatively complex and de facto consisted of several questions. PBP results indicate that the intensification of a crime in Poland is still quite considerable. Nearly every fifth inhabitant of our country was a victim of one of the offenses taken into consideration during the analyzed period, almost every eighteenth was a victim of a burglary. Also other thefts (nearly 1,900 cases per 51 thousand respondents), and robberies (nearly 1,500 cases per 51 thousand resondents) happen quite often. The largest (tenfold) diversity in regional reviev concerns the risk of a car theft, white the smallest (2,5 fold) diversity concerns robberies and other theft. Relatively large, (fivefold) differences have also been reported in case of battery. It should be noted that differences in the frequency of the offences taken into consideration voivodship-wise is comparable or even greater than in the individual EU countries taking part in the final round of the ICVS, which is certainly quite a surprise.

Women’s crime in Poland exists to a much lesser extent than men’s crime – and this difference is the subject of theoretical considerations and empirical research. The reasons for this state of affairs can be found mainly in a much smaller number of cases that can be examined and in a lesser social need to explain this phenomenon. Undoubtedly, however, this phenomenon is a threat to the security of individuals. Prevention of security threats is associated with building strong local communities by undertaking actions aimed at reducing the level of anxiety in society and aimed at improving social standards and the culture of social coexistence. The aim of this study is to try to explain the phenomenon of crime of women and its impact on the sense of security of the individual. The authors attempt to answer the following questions: what is the scale of women’s crime in Poland? what is the mechanism of action of women criminals and what are the motives for their actions? how women’s crime affects the sense of security of individuals?

Artykuł prezentuje sylwetkę Józefa Koryckiego, zwanego Janosikiem z Podlasia, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem jego losów w latach 80. XX w. Zdarzenia z jego biografii przedstawiono w kontekście wydarzeń społeczno-politycznych omawianego okresu. Materiał źródłowy dotyczący postaci J. Koryckiego pochodzi przede wszystkim z badań przeprowadzonych w 1985 r. przez jego współwięźnia, a zarazem młodego socjologa, Marka M. Kamińskiego. Pozyskane przezeń dane zostały opracowane metodą biograficzną i poddane krytycznej ocenie, a następnie opublikowane. Omawiana w niniejszym artykule problematyka została ujęta w wymiarze psychologiczno-socjologicznym. Dokonano analizy osobowoœci Koryckiego w aspekcie jego postaw i zachowań w relacjach interpersonalnych oraz w stosunkach społecznych, przede wszystkim w sytuacjach ekstremalnych. W artykule wykazano niejednoznaczność aksjologiczną działalności Koryckiego, a także rozbieżność ocen prowadzonych przezeń działań. Wskazano zależność sądów wartościujących od perspektywy postrzegania jego osoby i czynów; z jednej strony w optyce prawnonormatywnej, jako przestępcy prowadzącego działalność kryminalną; zaś z drugiej strony w optyce moralnonormatywnej, jako opozycjonisty prowadzącego działalność prospołeczną.

The article presents Józef Korycki’s profile and history in the 1980s, where he was known as „Janosik of the Podlasie”. The events from his biography have been presented on the background of the sociopolitical events in the discussed period. The source material concerning the figure of J. Korycki’s comes first of all from the research carried out in 1985 by his fellow prisoner, and also a young sociologist, Marek M. Kamiński. The data obtained by him was developed using a biographical method and subjected to a critical evaluation, and then published. The issues discussed in this article have been included in the psychological and sociological dimension. Korycki’s personality analysis was analyzed in the aspect of his attitudes and behaviors in interpersonal relations and in social relations, especially in extreme situations. It revealed the axiological ambiguity of Korycki’s activity, as well as the discrepancies in the legal and moral assessments made during his activeness as well as, later, from the historical perspective.

The article presents Józef Korycki, called Janosik Podlaski, described in the accounts of his three friends. The source material was developed with the biographical method and subjected to critical analysis. The accounts revealed the axiological ambiguity of Korycki’s activities, as well as the differ- ences in opinions about his activities. In the eyes of the communist propaganda, Janosik Podlaski was a common criminal. However, in the memory of friends he remained a good man, loyal to his homeland and devoted to the Podlasie community. In addition to presenting the recollections of Korycki, the article offers a clear interpretation of activities of this outstanding man.

Artykuł prezentuje postać Józefa Koryckiego, zwanego Janosikiem Podlaskim, opisaną na podstawie relacji trójki jego przyjaciół. Pozyskany w ten sposób materiał został opracowany w oparciu o metodę biograficzną i poddany krytycznej analizie. Relacje uwidoczniły niejednoznaczność aksjologiczną działalności Koryckiego, a także wynikającą z tego rozbieżność ocen prowadzonych przezeń działań. Ukazały zależność dotyczących jego osoby i czynów sądów wartościujących od perspektywy postrzegania. W ujęciu propagandy komunistycznych władz, Janosik Podlaski przedstawiany był, jako pospolity kryminalista. Natomiast w pamięci przyjaciół pozostał dobrym człowiekiem, wiernym ojczyźnie i oddanym podlaskiej społeczności. Artykuł ma na celu, oprócz prezentacji wspomnień o Koryckim, także przybliżenie rozstrzygnięcia dylematu w historycznej ocenie tej nieprzeciętnej postaci.
