Objectives and Contextualisation
When we refer to citizen security in democratic societies, we observe the action carried out by the state to ensure peaceful coexistence, the orderly use of public spaces, making suitable the uses, as well as ensuring respect for the rights and freedoms of all citizens, to avoid the commission of crimes and offenses against people and their goods; however, a broad concept of citizen security can also cover many fields of prevention and reaction to their threats.
Security is a basic need for the proper functioning and development of human societies, immediately after having properly insured the physiological needs that suppose personal survival.
Although the subject can focus on the treatment and action of security forces and bodies, which aim to ensure citizen security in the strict sense, the risks that put at stake the security of citizens, can form a wide range of assumptions in which, depending on the threat to overcome, different agents intervene (civil protection, road safety, fire brigade, army, intelligence, public services of attention to people ...).
For this reason, the vision that is intended to conform in the subject has to alternate between citizen security in the strict sense and the integrity of the concept.
With this subject we intend to situate ourselves in the context of citizen security at an integral level and also in its strict sense.
Provide elements of reflection on the need for security to democratic societies for their optimal development.
Know the public security system and its agents, both at a general level and in the field of security forces and bodies.
Approach the basic regulations on citizen security.
Observe the direct application of citizen security and its impact on the different fields of citizens common activity (preservation of the security of people and goods, coexistence, fight against crime, public services of attention to people, quality of life , road safety and mobility.
