ABSTRACT:
The phenomenon of crime has been present in social life since its inception, at every stage of the development of society, regardless of its system, structure or historical period, and although the crime itself has always been changing and evolving, it begins to take new – different, more and more dangerous and complicated forms. Changes taking place in crime are clearly linked to the overall processes of social change that affect all societies and nations. The issue of the influence and processes of social evolution on the discussed phenomenon has long been the subject of sociological analyzes and criminology. By implementing one of the most important tasks, which is crime prevention, also known as criminal prevention, the Polish Police, striving to achieve the optimal level of effectiveness of the actions taken, assessed through the prism of, inter alia, social assessment and the level of citizens’ sense of security, each of the initiatives undertaken in this area is based on the strategy of preventing crime and social pathology, based on the created coalitions for security, which include representatives of government and local administration, non-governmental organizations and other entities, and above all wide-ranging cooperation with the society based on the idea of community policing.
