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.

Unique assessment:

The date for this test will be the same scheduled in the schedule for the last continuous assessment exam. The same recovery system as for continuous assessment applies.

Recovery

If you do not pass the subject in accordance with the criteria mentioned above (continuous assessment, minimum 3.5), you can take a make-up test on the scheduled date in the timetable, which will cover all the content of the program.

To participate in the recovery, the student must have previously been evaluated in a set of activities, the weight of which is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total qualification of the subject. However, the grade that will appear in the student's file is a maximum of 5-Pass. If he has not been evaluated in two third parties for not having presented himself for the tests he will obtain the qualification of Not Presented, without having the option of Recovery.

Evaluation of students in the second call or more

It will be necessary to carry out the scheduled assignments, tests and exams and hand in the course assignments on the dates indicated in Moodle.

In the event that several irregularities occur in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0 ".

Tests/exams may be written and/or oral at the faculty's discretion.

At the time of carrying out each assessment activity, the teaching staff will inform the students of the mechanisms for reviewing the qualifications. For single assessment students, the review process will be the same.
