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 onthe 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Projects. Jobs | 50% | 0 | 0 | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 |

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT
The evaluation system will consist of:
- Pass a final exam of all the content of the subject which represents 50% of the grade
- Submit two individual works presented by the student to the teacher (50% of the mark).
Each test must have a mark of at least 3.5 to be able to add to the continuous evaluation.
The mark to pass the continuous evaluation will be the result of the sum of the exam, the works and practices in their corresponding percentage, as long as the minimum marks required to add are obtained. To pass the continuous assessment, this average must be 5 or higher.
SINGLE ASSESSMENT
Students who opt for the single assessment will take a final assessment test of all the content of the subject (50%) and will deliver the two planned assignments for the subject (50%).
The date for this test of the subject will be the same scheduled in the schedule for the last continuous assessment exam.
The same recovery system will be applied as for the continuous evaluation.
The date for the delivery of the course work will be the same as the one scheduled in the continuous assessment schedule.
Evaluation of students in the second call or more
The students who repeat the subject will have to take the scheduled tests and exams and deliver the subject work on the dates indicated in the Moodle classroom.
Recovery exam
The student who does not pass the subject, who does not reach 5 (total) out of 10, in accordance with the criteria established in the two previous sections, may take a final exam provided that the student has been evaluated in a set of activities, the weight of which is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total grade for the subject. If you have not been evaluated by these two third parties because you have not taken the tests,you will obtain a score of Not Taken, without having the possibility of taking the final recovery exam.
In this exam, all the contents of the subject that have not been passed in the continuous assessment will be evaluated again.
In the case of passing the final exam, the course will be approved with a maximum of 5, regardless of the grade obtained in the exam.
Changing the date of a test or exam
Students who need to change an assessment date must submit the request by filling in the document found in the Moodle space for EPSI Tutoring.
Once the document has been completed, it must be sent to the teaching staff of the subject and to the coordination of the Degree.
Revision
At the time of carrying out each evaluation 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.
Other considerations
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, "in the event that the student performs any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade of an evaluation act, he will be graded with a 0 this act of evaluation, regardless of the disciplinary process that can be initiated. In the event that several irregularities occur in the acts of evaluation of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0 ".
If there are unforeseencircumstances that prevent the normal development of the subject, the teaching staff may modify both the methodology and the evaluation of the subject.
Plagiarism
If during the correction there are indications that an activity or work has been carried out with answers assisted by artificial intelligence, the teacher may complement the activity with a personal interview to corroborate the authorship of the text.
Bibliography
Bibliography, regulations and complementary texts will be provided to the student.
Software
No software is required for the development of the subject.
