Objectives and Contextualisation

It is about showing different aspects of security from the point of view of the administrative intervention, whether regulated or self-regulated, in order to prevent risks or dangers to achieve comprehensive prevention. Sectors such as domicile, public domain, workplace, public and private transport, hospitality, etc. are selected. and analyzes the regulations, the legal instruments and the obligations of the citizens so that our specialists in prevention are prepared to meet the requirements of the Public Administrations.
 
The concepts of worker, labor contract, trader, entrepreneur, mercantile societies, etc. are studied. in order to find solutions that are suitable for open administrative procedures.
 
At the same time, the new rights that cover each situation will be explained: women, environmental, minorities, road safety, prevention of occupational hazards, food safety, health, anti-smoking, etc. appropriate to the new risk society model.
 
We will see in each session how to guarantee a right (in life, health, security, etc.) through the analysis of a specific sector or in a specific area where human beings develop: the address , the university, the place of work, the means of transport, the hotels, the shows, etc.
 
We will study the administrative intervention in the management of office hours, and the cooperation between the police and guard courts.
 
An exhaustive study of the prevention of violence will be carried out through the regulation of firearms. We will discuss how different security models are based on the restriction or freedom granted to the citizen in terms of the possession of weapons. We will analyze the American model of freedom and promotion of the armed individual to achieve a State where the citizen obtains or not his self-protection. At the same time, a comparison will be made with the European securitymodel in which the possession ofweapons for the defense of the citizen is a monopoly of the security forces and bodies. Once exposed the two most representative models, it will be evaluated which system offers more integral security.
