Publicizing it through the mass media “legitimize” it as a serious social problem in the area of security, which requires rapid legal and institutional solutions. As an analytical scheme used in the text of a hybrid model analyzes of moral panic, which integrates the previous sequential approach and attributive moral panic, often applied in studies of the relationship between the state and other entities of security.

Law enforcement is a unique, clearly delineated area of state involvement. Enhancing security is an important aim of state involvement, which affects diverse areas. Research thereon relate the interdisciplinary concept of security to conflicts and socio-economic crises. As a consequence, setting up a framework of policies for the topic demands a plurality of methods. The Good State and Governance report, published in 2015, names security and trust as defining spheres of influence. More specifically, the following 5 indicators presented as dimensions of public security and catastrophe management (citizens’ sense of security in public places of their residential area; citizens’ trust in the police; the number of registered wilful murders, intentional bodily injuries, and robberies; government expenditure on public order, civil protection, fire and catastrophe management per 1000 citizens; and the human resources of law enforcement) show well the importance of the common mindset associated with the Good State and Government special report. It is acknowledged that public security is a measurable social phenomenon; the objective state of private security is shown by criminal statistics; and public opinion concerning public security informs us about subjective security.

In the following article the author presents an evolution of views, in theory and practice, within the field of security in the broader sense. Such issues were initially closely related to the essence of a state’s institution and implemented using the state’s administration as a tool. Alongside constitutional and ideological changes, the views concerning the character and meaning of security also changed. Another question which is considered is the subject of terminology. Undoubtedly one of the factors determining the extent of legal regulations in the field of security and public order is the way of comprehending these concepts. The author has drawn up a pioneer periodisation of the issues of security from an historical perspective . The turning points for particular periods of comprehending the essence of this issue have been determined. The analysis of internal security strategy ‘Towards a European Security Model’, which was adopted in 2010 after years of disputes and discrepancies in standpoints of particular EU member states, is a specific recapitulation of these deliberations.

This article presents Knowledge of English as a Second Language in Personnel Dealings with Foreigners in the Context of International Security. If Ukraine wants to be classified among tourist and international business countries, it should have capable, polite as well as educated security forces. Education in this case means that, for example, a Ukrainian police officer can talk to a foreigner, tourist who is in trouble, had an accident, or is even a suspect – in the foreigner's native language. A lot could be done in this respect for better co-operation of security officers, including police officers, and better knowledge of foreign languages.

The author of the article puts forward and attempts to justify the thesis according to which the death penalty – in the strict sense of the term – is identified only and exclusively with killing the criminal, the killing being the punishment for the most serious crimes, first of all murder. Killing a criminal in defense of the society (ultima ratio) is a shape of the action that is closer to actions carried out by the state as part of an ethically justified war. In the justification of this thesis the author refers both to the history of the debate on capital punishment (e.g. C. Beccaria) and to its modern stage (Evangelium vitae).

Cybersecurity belongs to the area of activity of state and supra-state actors, giving direction to national and international systems of law as components of national and supranational systems of political, economic, military cooperation, etc. Still, the state has a monopoly on the causality of lawmaking, which forms the basis of cyberspace use security activities. The state responds to national security needs by actively participating in the formation of the collective security order of the supranational level. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the significance of the national Cybersecurity Strategy of the Republic of Poland for ensuring the safe use of cyberspace. The Strategy, while referring to the national order, is at the same time an implementation of supranational arrangements within the scopes adopted by the state authorities, which means that the Strategy is subjected to logical evaluation depending on the impact of cyber conditions or binding arrangements of the international environment. The text is based on two research methods: the doctrinal legal research method to analyse the applicable legal regulations governing the issues related to the strategic aspects of cybersecurity and the law theory method aimed at evaluating the strategic solutions in respect of security in cyberspace.

In the municipal “Programme of the Security Improvement for the City of Kraków 2018– 2020” one of the main goals was pointed out as “the improvement of the protection of public buildings in Krakow against the terrorist attack”. Antiterroristic prevention of public buildings and public space is a difficult and controversial issue. On the one hand, it is connected with the need of provision a public safety but on the other hand it may affect the protection of freedom and personal rights of citizens. In practice the fortification of public buildings threatens its functionality, in symbolic dimension it undermines the basic principles of democracy. In the article, the author depicts evaluation of different approaches and effects of antiterrorist policies, which may be implemented in order to protect public facilities in Kraków.

W „Programie poprawy bezpieczeństwa dla miasta Krakowa na lata 2018–-2020” jako jeden z celów operacyjnych wymieniono „poprawę stopnia przygotowania obiektów użyteczności publicznej w Krakowie w zakresie przeciwdziałania atakowi terrorystycznemu i na wypadek ataku terrorystycznego”. Problematyka prewencji antyterrorystycznej w odniesieniu do budynków publicznych i przestrzeni miejskiej pozostaje kontrowersyjna, gdyż dotyka z jednej strony kwestii konieczności zapewnienia mieszkańcom odpowiedniego poziomu bezpieczeństwa, a z drugiej – potrzeby zagwarantowania wolności osobistej i poszanowania praw obywatelskich. W wymiarze praktycznym fortyfikacja budynków publicznych zagraża ich funkcjonalności, a w wymiarze symbolicznym jest zaprzeczeniem demokracji. W artykule rozważane są możliwości i ewentualne skutki wprowadzenia w życie przedsięwzięć, które mogą służyć ograniczeniu ryzyka ataków terrorystycznych w przestrzeni publicznej i budynkach użyteczności publicznej w Krakowie.

Artykuł porusza problem zapobiegania przestępczości w wymiarze lokalnym przy wykorzystaniu filozofii community policing, opierającej się na partnerstwie policji, jako służby odpowiedzialnej za ochronę bezpieczeństwa i porządku publicznego, z lokalną społecznością. Obecnie w Polsce można zauważyć wyraźny zwrot policji ku społeczeństwu, wynikający z dostrzegania jego znaczenia w zapobieganiu i zwalczaniu przestępczości. Przykładem jest interaktywne narzędzie w postaci Krajowej Mapy Zagrożeń Bezpieczeństwa; mieszkańcy mogą tu zgłaszać anonimowo informacje o występujących w ich okolicy zagrożeniach, które wymagających reakcji właściwych służb. Istotny element stanowi również radykalna zmiana koncepcji pracy dzielnicowego, polegająca na uczynieniu go osobą bliższą obywatelom.

The article presents the most important issues related to fighting with asymmetric threats. The issues are introduced in the context of undertaken counter-subversive activities. A crucial element of the discussion is that the actions and their properties are presented in the form of an open set, which might be used for training purposes by forces using subversion. Such an assumption led the author to introduce the problem followed by methods and characteristics of fighting with subversion. These were the bases for presenting basic problems related to the description of counter-subversive activities and protective and defensive measures. In the further part of the article the author describes kinds and manners of counter-subversion highlighting the indicators of their effectiveness and interrelations between them. The article finishes with conclusions which synthesize the assumptions and particular parts of the article.

This article presents the essential issues in the provisions of the law relating to public security in force in the Republic of Poland which are used in conditions of extraordinary internal threats that cannot be dealt with using ordinary legal tools. The considerations are based on an analysis of the legally regulated obligations of the state as a political organisation to society for securing the conditions for its survival in a changing security environment. This serves to present the basic issues of public security and the rules for the use of the State instruments for states of emergency. The rest of this article presents the relationship between issues of public security and a state of emergency. In this part of the article it is essential to discuss the circumstances that must exist to be able to employ specific legal measures in the conditions of threats to the constitutional order of the State and threats affecting the security of the citizens or of public order (including those caused by terrorist activities). Consequently, it discusses the impact of the rigours of a state of emergency in relation to the potential for limiting the escalation of these threats. The final part of the article also presents other instruments, apart from the state of emergency which, in the Polish legal system, can be used in the fight against threats which endanger public security and that are related to prohibited activities in cyberspace.

The considerations presented in this article are based on several assumptions. First of all, the human environment and the set of its elements are constantly changing. In the early periods of evolution and development of humanity, man lived in conditions given by nature itself, no different than in natural conditions. However, even then, he was also exposed to threats, mainly natural, including disasters. Secondly, with the passage of time and development there was a very large population increase, which caused changes in quite primitive interpersonal and social relations. More and more organized communities, states began to emerge. With this development, new threats also appeared. In addition to the natural threats, which were already natural by their very name, the threats of a social nature began to emerge from the natural world around us, characterized by continuous and dynamic changes. Thirdly, man, who wanted to effectively deal with the problems of the threats he faced, created safety systems. One of them is the public security system. Fourthly, in today’s security environment there is a paradox that in practice these systems function, and in theory there is no commonly accepted definition of public security. The circumstances outlined above determined the shape of this article, the essence of which was to work out a compromise definition of public security based on the interpretation of this concept by recognized authorities in the field of law, administration and security.

The free movement of persons is one of the most successful European Union projects, serving as a majorly important factor promoting the European integration processes. The adoption of the Treaty on the European Union and the creation of EU citizenship implemented significant changes: the status of EU citizens and their right to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States can no longer be interpreted in the way it was before the adoption of the Treaty on the European Union. There are no requirements for EU citizens within the Treaty to pursue professional or independent activities or to work under an employment contract in order to access provided rights. However, the right of free movement is not unlimited. The administrations of the Member State governments are authorized to impose restictions on the free movement of citizens. In the light of these facts, this article examines exceptions in the field of free movement of persons and indentifies concepts of public policy, public security and public health. Special attention is given to so-called rule limitation of restrictions and to the mechanism of protection against expulsion from the country. The article concludes by saying that the institutions of Member State governments have the right to evaluate threats within the territory of the country and to decide on the content of public security by themselves. However, their discretion can not be used as an instrument to treat the conduct of other Member State citizens in a worse way than that of their own local citizens.
