The aim of the study is to present the results of a quantitative research study entitled“Security in Cracow”, which investigated the fear of crime among the city’s citizensin the years 2014–2016. Under the Agreement for Security concluded between the Cityof Cracow and the Jagiellonian University in 2014, the survey is held two times each year.Both the Agreement and the concept of the presented research arose from the moralpanic that was visible in Cracow in the second half of 2013, following several casesof serious offences committed by football hooligans and a widely publicised homicideof a young student in September 2013.Empirical analysis of the fear of crime faces numerous theoretical and methodolo -gical problems. For the purpose of the present research, an operational definition of fearof crime was adopted, according to which fear of crime is similar to the psychologicalconstruct of attitude, comprised of three components: cognitive, affective and be -havioural. The research was additionally intended to verify the selected hypotheseson the causes of fear of crime, that is the victimisation hypothesis, the vulnerabilityhypothesis and the reduction of social control hypothesis.The research was conducted via telephone interviews (CATI, Computer AssistedTelephone Interviews) six times – in March and September 2014 (N = 1815 andN = 1770), June and September 2015 (N = 1808 and N = 1811), April and September2016 (N = 1820 and N = 1803). The sample was representative for the gender, ageand the district of the city’s residents. The questionnaire included 33 items: 13 itemson the demographic and social participants’ characteristics, and 20 concerning:a) prob lems and threats encountered in Cracow, b) the respondents’ sense of safetyin Cracow, their district of residence and the nearest surroundings, c) victimisation,the likelihood of becoming a victim to a crime, the means adopted to prevent crime,and d) the attitudes towards the services responsible for security and public order.To measure the fear of crime, an index was constructed based on the questionnaireitems referring to its three components. In the light of the results of the past six roundsof the study, the level of the citizens’ fear can be estimated as low. However, a moderatelysized group of citizens was identified whose fear of crime was at a considerable leveland who – in future research – ought to be addressed in a more qualitative manner toexplore the underlying causes of their fear.Evidence was found to support the victimisation hypothesis, according to whichfear of crime is correlated with the experience of being an actual victim of a crime.Additionally, the vulnerability hypothesis that claims fear of crime results fromperceiving oneself as a potential target of criminal activity was partially corroboratedin the light of the obtained results. Evidence was found to support the fear of crimeparadox with reference to gender, though not to age differences. Finally, the reductionof the social control hypothesis states that fear of crime is related to the condition andstrength of the local communities. The obtained results suggest that the respondents’fear of crime is correlated with the perceived disorder in the nearest surroundings, butno evidence has been found that it is related to the disintegration of neighbourhoodties.Fear of crime remains an important social issue which influences the quality ofcitizens’ lives on the individual (personal) level, the level of local communities and onthe macrosocial one. To maximise citizens’ security, it is essential to undertake actionsaddressed to the objective (minimisation of threats and/or dangers) and subjective(focus on citizens’ sense of safety) understanding of safety.The research in question is unique on both the national and the internationallevel. Periodical analyses of this sort based on the same research questionnaire providea rare opportunity to investigate temporal and spatial dynamics of the phenomenonin question. The authors believe that the presented research will contribute to scientificdiscussion concerning the methods of measuring fear of crime and will allow the safety stakeholders to recognise the need for research-based community crime prevention programmes.

The pandemic that broke out in 2019 had a significant impact on the lives of all social groups around the world. The imposed restrictions and mandatory quarantine were crucial to limit the virus’s spread. The research comprises an analysis of the psychosocial impact exerted by the pandemic that attempted to determine the response to the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath. For this purpose, a study on social resilience in the pandemic era was worked out. The study consisted of several parts: stress and the sense of safety, education, trust and defined needs and the mass media in COVID-19. The research team decided to present the study’s results in a series of articles that will contribute to forming a complete picture of the community in the context of the analysed variables. The paper is the first in this series. It contains an analysis of variables intended to determine the level of the experienced sense of safety and its constituent, i.e., stress, and the identification of socio-demographic data strongly influencing the studied variables. The study comprised 559 individuals who were surveyed between May 2020 and November 2020 with the use of an online survey questionnaire. SPSS Statistics version 21.0 and PQStat were used to conduct statistical analyses and correlate and assess the correlation of responses. Also used were Chisquare, Fisher’s test and Pearson’s linear correlation coefficient. A logistic regression analysis was carried out for dichotomous variables. The results of the study indicate that the level of experienced stress is influenced by age, place of residence, gender and job security. The sense of safety is inversely correlated with stress, i.e., as stress increases, the sense of safety decreases, indicating a need to undertake appropriate measures to reduce stress. It may be interesting to compare the level of stress with, among other things, information retrieval from different sources. These results will be presented in the subsequent studies.

Artykuł zawiera rozważania dotyczące teoretycznego znaczenia kategorii bezpieczeństwa i poczucia bezpieczeństwa na gruncie socjologii. Pojęcia te są wykorzystywane w teoriach dotyczących różnych poziomów organizacji rzeczywistości społecznej. Krótko zostały omówione przykłady takich zastosowań: a) w implikacjach koncepcji „społeczeństwa ryzyka” U. Becka; b) jako kategoria łącząca działania jednostkowe i własności systemu społecznego w koncepcji M. Marody oraz c) jako pojęcia przydatne do charakterystyki pewnych aspektów porządku interakcyjnego w ujęciu E. Goffmana.

Safety is the issue considered from various perspectives: legal, ethical, psychological, political, etc. However, any analyses are aimed at one purpose, i.e. defining its determinants in the context of resources being strengthened and risk factors (threats) being reduced/eliminated. Penal institution is a specific social environment, artificially established by humans, the purpose of which is to protect society from those who are dangerous and breach legal and moral standards in a given social group. Nevertheless, the cognitive objective of the article consisted in analysing the issues pertaining to the sense of safety of those deprived of liberty assuming that it constitutes the basis of psychological safety. Accordingly, a diagnostic survey was conducted on 150 persons deprived of liberty and placed in penal institutions on the territory of the Lublin Province. The Sense of Safety Questionnaire by Zenon Uchnast was employed and the empirical data gathered were subject to statistical analysis with the account taken of the following variables: place of residence, age of the surveyed, addiction to psychoactive substances.

PL

Bezpieczeństwo jest zagadnieniem ujmowanym z wielu perspektyw: prawnej, etycznej, psychologicznej, politycznej itd. Wszelkie analizy zmierzają jednak do jednego celu, tj. wyznaczenia jego uwarunkowań w kontekście wzmacniania zasobów i redukowania/likwidowania czynników ryzyka (zagrożeń). Specyficznym środowiskiem społecznym, sztucznie utworzonym przez człowieka, jest zakład karny, który z założenia ma służyć ochronie społeczeństwa przed osobami, które są niebezpieczne oraz naruszają normy prawne i moralne w danej grupie społecznej. Poznawczym celem artykułu było dokonanie analizy zagadnień związanych z poczuciem bezpieczeństwa osób osadzonych, przyjmując, że stanowi ono składową bezpieczeństwa psychologicznego. Dlatego badaniu sondażowemu poddano 150 osób pozbawionych wolności, przebywających w zakładach karnych w okręgu lubelskim. Wykorzystano Kwestionariusz Poczucia Bezpieczeństwa Zenona Uchnasta, a zgromadzone dane empiryczne poddano analizie statystycznej z uwzględnieniem takich zmiennych, jak miejsce zamieszkania i uzależnienie od środków psychoaktywnych.
